✨ Hair & Makeup Guidelines ✨

For 10:00 AM & 12:00 PM Dancers

🎀 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.

For 4:00 PM Dancers

🎀 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.
