🎀 Hair:
Hair should be pulled neatly away from the face for the performance.
Recommended styles:
High Ponytail
Low Ponytail
Half Up / Half Down
Important: Be mindful of any headpieces that come with your dancer’s costume—choose a style that works well with their accessories.
💄 Makeup:
Makeup is completely optional—apply as little or as much as you feel comfortable with.
If you prefer to skip stage makeup, that is perfectly fine! We want every dancer to feel confident and stress-free on stage.
🎀 Hair:
Hair must be styled in a slicked-back, secured mid or low bun for both dress rehearsal and recital.
A hair net is required around the bun to keep it secure. (Hair nets can be found at Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid, Sally’s, etc.)
💄 Makeup:
Stage makeup is required for both dress rehearsal and recital.
Fake eyelashes are optional for IDC dancers but required for Legacy Members, just as they are on the competition stage.

Our priority is for all dancers to feel their best and shine under the stage lights—whether that includes makeup or not! 💫 If you have any questions, feel free to ask an IDC staff member for guidance.
