Hair
· The hair requirements apply to both Dress rehearsals and Show performances.
o Girls with longer hair should style their hair in two side French braids pulled into a single pony tail at the
base of the neck. See the photos above for examples.
o Hair below the pony tail should be tightly curled and securely sprayed with hair spray.
o Girls with short hair should have their hair off their face or if possible small braids on either side
There will not be anyone at dress or the shows doing hair so please make sure your child’s hair is styled at home before they come to the school.
Makeup
This year, each BYDT dancer will have their own makeup kit assigned. The kits will be managed by the makeup volunteers until both shows are over. After the Sunday show, the dancers may take their kits home and keep for future performances.
Each dancer will come to both Dress Rehearsal and the Holiday Shows with the following:
· Liquid foundation applied to the face - a little heavier than you would normally apply it for even coverage.
· Black eyeliner applied to the upper lid only
· Black mascara applied to the lashes - upper and lower or upper only
· Please also make sure that several days before each show your dancer applies chapstick or Vaseline to their lips
frequently. This will allow for easier application of the red lipstick we use during the shows.
· The makeup volunteers will apply other required makeup during Dress and the Shows.
High School girls can apply their own makeup this year per the instructions provided by the makeup team. If preferred, they may choose to have their makeup applied by the volunteers.
High School Makeup kits must be returned to the makeup team at the end of the Dress rehearsal and Saturday show, they may not be taken home.
Dancers in the Enchanted Toy number will need to bring their foundation labeled with their name. Please make sure to bring it to the makeup area at the beginning of each show. We will need to re-apply their regular makeup after this dance.
