Hair & Make Up

Part of the training we provide for young dancers is to help them to understand the expectations of a professional level show. Even at our youngest ages, our dancers learn how to conduct themselves both on stage and off to create the best show experience for everyone.

This begins with upholding our show standards. We appreciate your support in this!

Make Up Requirements

All performers are asked to wear stage make-up. We believe every dancer is perfect just as they are and certainly do not need make-up in every day life. However, stage lighting is a whole different story and without stage make-up, dancers will look washed out and featureless on stage, especially in the huge AIS arena space. Performers use stage make-up to enhance their own natural features.

We ask that all make-up be neutral tones (browns, pinks, etc) and based on the age of the dancer. We suggest that male dancers could use a little bit of bronzer to highlight their features. We ask all female dancers to have a brown eye shadow, pink blush and red lip colour. Older dancers can wear more make-up for stage and Squad dancers must wear fake eye lashes. You can find a quick tutorial for stage make-up below.

Hair Requirements:

Different dances have different hairstyles, so you and your dancer will want to review our costuming page to see what style he or she will need for each performance. CLICK HERE (or see below) to get to the costuming page.

We have volunteers and older dancers backstage who can help your dancer change their hairstyle, but if your dancer will have more than one hairstyle throughout the show, please pack the following in your dancer's bag:

  • bobby pins
  • hair pins
  • clear rubberbands
  • elastic bands that are the same colour as your dancer's hair
  • gel
  • comb and brush
