Showcase Hair
Recital hair is a middle part into a low bun (if hair is long enough) or low pony tail.
Here are tutorials from Bella Dance Academy on how to create a bun with or without a ballet bun maker and how to apply stage makeup.

Stage Makeup
This is a tutorial on how to apply makeup and is just a guideline, not mandatory.
Dancers are welcome to wear any neutral look that enhances their features onstage.
We recommend a little powder and blush for all dancers to ensure they don't get washed out under the bright stage lights. As always though, makeup is optional.
Hair Accessories
Hair accessories are to go on the dancer's RIGHT side of the bun or ponytail.
