HAIR AND MAKE-UP - All dancers must wear their hair away from their face. Hair styles will be specified by instructors. All dancers should wear neutral (dark browns, light tan) colored eyeshadow and mascara. Eye make-up should be applied to create a “natural” look, with medium shading through the eye crease for our teen and senior dancers. Blush should be chosen based on the individual’s skin tone and applied to the apples of the cheeks. Younger dancers should wear a light to medium pink lipstick, older dancers should wear a medium to dark pink lipstick. Remember, theatrical lights wash people out.

FAQ’s
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What if I want to help backstage during the show?
In order to keep the number of people inside the studio to a minimum, we will be using TDC teaching staff and select volunteers to run the dressing rooms and assist backstage for the shows.
Please keep in mind, if you feel your dancer needs special supervision, and you think you are the only one for the job, you MUST contact Miss Amanda, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the backstage area.
$75.00 Showcase Fee? What’s that for?
Your $75.00 showcase fee (per student) covers the cost of the auditorium rental, your dancer’s costume, a souvenir showcase shirt, a link to download each professionally filmed cast, and one general admission ticket to each show your dancer performs in. If your dancer is enrolled in multiple classes, an additional $25 costume fee will be owing per participating class. SHOWCASE FEE DUE IN FULL WITH APRIL TUITION.
Speaking of costumes….
Your dancer will not be receiving a full out, glitz and glam, WOWEE costume this season. We prefer to take a more practical and less expensive approach. Each dancer will receive some form of dance apparel that will be used as their costume, our hope is that the items selected can act as dancewear for future classes, or even something your dancer may choose to wear on the daily! Ie: Jazz and tap classes may receive a dance top or colored leotard, hip hop may receive a pair of pants or a shirt, etc.
PLEASE BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR DANCER
SHOES: Appropriate for the style of dance that your child is enrolled in.
TIGHTS: If your dancer is wearing shorts, a leotard, or skirted leotard, they will need pink or skin tone tights.
LEOTARDS/TOPS: If your dancer’s costume piece is a pair of pants or a skirt, they may be asked to purchase a specific colored leotard, or t-shirt to match with the bottom half of their costume.
PANTS/SHORTS: If your dancer is receiving a top, they may be asked to provide leggings, shorts, or sweats to match with the top half of their costume. Due to limited dressing space it is important to organize and LABEL belongings prior to arrival.
When and where can I get tickets? How much are they?
