Tights reminder

HAIR AND MAKEUP

MAKEUP

Makeup is optional but highly recommended. Stage makeup plays an important role in helping dancers look their best under bright stage lights. It’s not about making our young dancers look older or like adults—it’s simply an extension of the costume, ensuring that their facial expressions can be clearly seen from the audience.

 

The lighting on stage can wash out natural features, so a little makeup helps highlight eyes, cheeks, and lips so the dancers’ expressions and artistry shine through. It’s not necessary to apply a full face of makeup with foundation, contouring, eyeliner, or highlighting. Here is what we suggest:

• Some blue eye shadow

• Pink blush

• Red or pink lipstick

​

While wearing stage makeup is optional, it is highly recommended to help each dancer feel fully prepared and to create a polished, cohesive look for the performance.​

​​

HAIR

• Hair must be pulled back in a neat ballet bun.​

• Ensure there are no flyaways.

​

JEWELRY, NAIL POLISH, GLITTER

• No jewelry is allowed except for small earrings.

• No nail polish is allowed.

• No glitter is allowed, as per instructions from Goodlet Theatre. In addition, we don’t recommend it because glitter on the skin can look like sweat from far away with the stage lights.​​​
