Ms. Sharon recommends the following recital make up this year. These colors can all be purchased at MAC or you can google the MAC colors for reference and then purchase in whatever brand you want. 

*Please start with a clean face and lightly apply a foundation.

*Eye shadow: Evening Grey (Steel) on the middle of the lid. Sketch (burgundy) above that on the crease of the lid and Nylon (shimmery icy gold) above that/under the brow. Carbon (black) in the outer corners.

* Black eyeliner on top (not bottom lid) and mascara on top/bottom lashes.

* Red lipstick (not pink or pink toned please)

* Blush (Desert Rose)

Fake eyelashes are optional.

We have just a few tips and reminders for recital day.

*Dancers can bring water only please. We don't want any costumes stained before they have a chance to wear them on stage.

* Please don't bring any outside food. We will try to have some pretzels available because it's easy clean up and won't stain.

*Volunteers: We recommend bringing a blanket for your group to hang out on in between dances and consider bringing color books and crayons for the young dancers. (No pens/markers that can stain costumes) Portable clothing racks are also helpful.

*Once your dancers are checked in they must stay with their parent volunteers until they are checked out at the end of the show. Please don't try to visit your dancer during the intermission. It makes it really difficult for the volunteers and the dancers.

*Please check your dancer in 30 minutes before the start of the recital. VOLUNTEERS: Please arrive 1 HOUR before the start of the recital.

*Dancers should be checked in fully dressed with hair and make up done for their first dance. Please label all their belongings/costumes.

*Volunteer packets are available at rehearsal or at the concession stand when you arrive before the show.

*Reminder: last day of classes is Saturday, June 6th. Dress rehearsals are Tuesday and Wednesday the following week.
