Production Hair
Dancers are required to have their hair slick back in a ballerina bun for all dress rehearsals and performances. Please use bobby pins and a hair net that match your dancers hair color, along with plenty of hair spray or gel. Glitter spray, bangs or clips are not allowed. "Sock buns” or “bun makers” are also not allowd, as ballet buns should be flat to the head and level with the top of the ears. Be sure to spray down those whispies!

The Dos:
1) DO use neutral/warm earth-toned eye shadow colors for stage performances. They are perfect under all colors of stage lighting and accentuate the eyes and skin well.
2) DO apply your makeup dark enough to be seen up to the first 8 – 12 rows (approximately).
3) DO use false lashes – they will enhance the shape of your eyes on stage!
The Don’ts:
1) DON’T use black liquid eyeliner under the eyes! Instead use an eye shadow with an angled makeup brush or, if you must, use an eye pencil.
2) DON’T forget to blend, blend, blend…you’re a ballerina not a punk rocker!
3) DON’T use black liner on the inside lower eyelid – this will make the eyes look small on stage. Use a white highlighter pencil on the inside rim of the lower eyelid to brighten the eyes and make them look bigger.
