Make Up
- Makeup can make the recital extra fun for young dancers. It also helps their facial features to be seen by the audience.
- It's a personal preference for each family, but dancers typically wear:
- Powder
- Pink blush
- Nude eye shadow
- Red lipstick
- Black mascara
- Black eye liner
- It is OK if you prefer that your dancer does not wear make-up.
Recital TIps
❓
It might be hard to contact staff on the day of the recital. Please ask questions in advance.
🚗
Look into how far the venue is from your home or from wherever you’ll be coming.
🩰
Buy these at least 30 days in advance to avoid sizing or shipping issues. Let dancers practice in them before the big day!
🌐
Recital details are updated there regularly. Find it at goinsdancing.com.
🏷️
Label shoes, bags, lovies, etc. to avoid mix-ups. Masking tape works great!
⏰
Please aim to have your dancer backstage 15 minutes before start time.
💖
Perfection is not the goal. Focus on fun and creating memories.
💐
Many dancers receive flowers. Some may feel left out if they don’t.
🎭
Stay for the full recital. Silence phones. Sit toward the back with small children.
🎉
Recital day is special for dancers and families. Sit back, relax, and celebrate your dancer’s hard work!
