Dress Code
The dress code is an important tool for the correct development of technique and assists in preventing injuries. When the teacher can view the dancer’s body clearly, they are able to make subtle adjustments that may eliminate future problems. Students should refer to the specifics of the dress code in the Uniform Requirements.
Makeup
Professional Stage Makeup is an essential part of performing. The purpose of stage makeup is to add color to the skin and to exaggerate the features, making them clearly visible to the audience.
All students will be required to purchase the approved make-up kit for their level. Orders can be placed through your Parent Portal. To look at the kits and to find instructions on how to apply the make-up you will need to sign-in to our dedicated page on the Make-up site.
Here is the link and password. Once in, if you click on tutorials you will see the make up application options.
