We suggest:
- Foundation - a liquid foundation that matches the natural skin tone followed by a translucent finishing powder to remove shine
- Light Rouge - applied to the cheekbones, not the cheeks
- Eye Shadow - brown applied over the lid and white applied under the eyebrow as in the above photograph
- Eye Liner - black applied to the lashline, finishing with a small flick at the corner of the eye. Liquid eye liner is easier to apply than pencil
- Mascara - black applied to upper and lower lashes
- Eyebrows - fill eyebrows; Please ask for help if you need it.
- Lipstick - RED STAY-ON LIPSTICK, not pink, not gloss. If in doubt on the color, ask an experienced dance mum/dancer. We recommend Cover Girl Ever Red-dy #507. This lipstick won’t smudge or get on costumes. To remove it, just use a cooking oil.
Students in Senior Classes, Grade 6 Ballet and above
- False eyelashes should be worn. Older students can help you apply them if you arrive at the theatre early enough.
Boys
- Foundation - a liquid foundation one shade darker than the natural skin tone followed by a finishing powder to remove shine
- Light Rouge - applied to the cheekbones, not the cheeks
- Eyebrows - should be darkened slightly and filled so they won’t look washed out
HAIR REQUIREMENTS
Ballet, Open, & Contemporary Dancers
All ballet students, unless otherwise instructed by their teacher, must have their hair slicked back into a bun at the centre of the back of their head, level with the ears. There is to be no part or fringe in the hair.
Jazz, Tap, & Hip Hop Dancers
Unless otherwise instructed by their teacher, all students must have hair slicked back into a ponytail at the centre of the back of the head, level with the ears. There is no part or fringe in the hair.
For Dancers who are performing in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and/or Hip Hop dances, the ponytail and bun are in the same position at the centre of the back of the head, level with the ears, making it easy to change from one style to the other (unless otherwise instructed by teachers).
