Sitting fee link

If you don't have time to fill out before class, you can pay in the studio!

Please take a look at the schedule below to know when to arrive for photos!

The photography backdrop/ setup will be in the dance room this year along the "blue wall". Some classes may run choreography while others are being photographed. Please help your student know the importance of listening to their teacher and having fun together when the flow might be different today.

Here are all the details below:

Hair:

Please arrive with hair in ballet bun- bun should be at crown of head, slicked back with water, gel, hairspray with a hairnet pinned over bun. 

We do have some extra supplies (like hairnets) if you do not have one.

We will have any extra hair accessories for the costume at the studio!

Here is a ballet bun tutorial:

Makeup:

Mini Movers photos and stage:

Pink eyeshadow, Blush, and Dark pink Lipstick (Mascara is optional)

Pre Ballet and Beginner Ballet only:

Photos: Eyeshadow, Blush, Lipstick and Mascara

(Stage: Eyeshadow, Blush, Bronzer, Lipstick, Eyeliner and Mascara)

Descriptions:

Eyeshadow : in a shade like pink or light purple or something neutral but nothing heavy that would darken their eyes or make them look heavy. (If they put some eyeshadow in the crease, you don't want it to be dark and heavy. Eyeshadow in crease is best for stage but not photos) 

Blush: Pink blush and maybe a tiny bit of bronzer to define cheekbones. (Bronzer only for stage) You don't want to apply blush past the pupils of your eyes, otherwise it will appear red faced on stage

Eyeliner:  Pencil shades like black, brown or purple. (Thin line on top of lash line)

Mascara: Black

For lipstick pink/rose toned. Since the lights will be brighter on this stage, more rose toned will show up better with the lighting. 

Brows: If they have light eyebrows they may want to add a little bit of color to their brows for stage only but nothing too heavy or over the top.
