FAQs
Do I need to wear makeup?
*No makeup required for Stage Rehearsal on Thursday*
We recommend that all our dancers wear makeup when performing. Makeup is a traditional part of dance performing as it helps the facial features be seen under the bright lights. It is also important as our show will be professionally photographed and filmed. Your products do not need to be expensive, the supermarket and chemist have a lot of these things regularly on special. First of all raid your cupboards and see what you can find there. If bringing anything into the theatre make sure it is in a named container. Please arrive at the theatre with your makeup done if possible and bring a packet of baby wipes and your lipstick in your makeup kit.
If you need any help with your makeup our CATs and other helpers will be around. Please make sure foundation is done before arriving and ensure you pack all other makeup items, so that our helpers can apply them for you.
We aim to only use the makeup that you bring in for your dancer. However, just in case, please make sure that you inform us if you or your dancer have any skin allergies by sending us an email by Wednesday, 13th November.
