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!
