Hair & Makeup

For ages 5 to 11 (unless specially noted on your costume sheet), all other dancers will wear a secure Low ponytail, middle part, with lots of hairspray to keep it smooth. 
-- If your dancer goes from Ballet to another dance, they will start in the Bun, and take out only the pins to leave the low ponytail in place.
-- If your dancers goes from another dance into a Ballet dance, the backstage helpers will get the ponytail into the bun, as long as you send the required pins and hairnet with your dancer.

For ages 12 and up (unless specially noted on your costume sheet), all Ballet dancers will wear a secure low Ballet bun, secured with a hairnet and bobby pins.  All other dancers will wear a secure middle part, low ponytail.
-- If your dancer goes from Ballet to another dance, they will start in the Bun, and take out only the pins to leave the mid ponytail in place.
-- If your dancers goes from another dance into a Ballet dance, see if your dancer can learn how to turn their ponytail into a bun, and the backstage helpers will also help, as long as you send the required pins and hairnet with your dancer.
