HAIR
For our Big Kid dancers with long hair, dancers will need to have hair in a bun*

You can purchase hair kits with all the bits and bobs you need from reception.
If your dancer has short hair, they should style it as suits them, or you can discuss with your child's teacher. Boys should style their hair as suits them.
*If your dancer is ONLY in hip hop, they can wear their hair in a neat ponytail
MAKEUP
We know our "big kids" love the whole stage experience, including their stage makeup! You can purchase makeup kits with everything you need (excluding foundation) at reception
(If your dancer identifies as male or does not want to wear stage makeup, they do not need to wear it).
Please note we wear RED lipstick. View the PDF below for stage makeup tips!
