You now have your costume exciting! PLEASE look back at your Concert Booklet Checklist to tick Step 4 off your list and prepare for Photo Day (27 th October) and Stage Rehearsals (2 nd, 3 rd & 4 th of November) Read the following carefully. Costume, Hair & Make Up Note 2018 Concert *class lists attached Stage Make Up It s about illuminating the eyes and smile on stage so that they aren t washed out under strong lights and facial expressions can be seen right up to the back row. Female: Foundation, Powder, Blush, Eye Shadow (natural skin colours), Black Eye Liner, Black Mascara, Red Lipstick - needs to be a strong colour so we see that gorgeous smile! All make up needs to be applied more heavily than usual as you are on stage under strong lighting, which will blank out your face and you will sweat it off. With under 5 s just apply what they will tolerate. Males: we suggest you wear foundation, powder and eyeliner. Hair & Accessories- ALL HAIR MUST be gelled, hair sprayed, pinned super securely, no wispy bits hanging out. Fringes are to be super neat. Use elastics and pins that blend with your hair colour. ALL ponytails should be straightened or curled. ALL hair out must be straightened or super neat curls. All Ballet Buns are to be secured with bun nets that blend with your hair colour. Glitter gel/hairspray is fine. Males: should gel hair to a funky style away from their eyes. Underwear - Where a bra strap is showing please use clear straps or pin flesh coloured straps securely to costume straps so they are not seen. Please do your best to match flesh stockings to your natural skin colour. Except for ballet stockings, which are a soft pink and shimmer stockings, which have a sparkle in the fabric. NO JEWELLRY to be worn on stage except for stud earrings & wedding rings. No ties on wrists or ankles. Clear nail polish only. Shoes- Please be sure to clean/shine all your dance shoes so that your all important feet sparkle! Put your name inside all of your shoes. If you need to source shoes we have a second hand shoe box at the studio or recommend Ballet Stuff in Lane Cove. NO VISIBLE SOCKS (flesh ankle socks) Information for our emotions Concert Saturday 3 rd and Sunday the 4 th of November 2018 A BIG thank you to all the parents who have been so positive and cooperative in the lead up to the show, it encourages our teachers immensely during such a busy time of preparation.
