 Hair

  • Low ponytail parted in the middle.
  • Use hair ties that blend with your hair color.
  • Spray all lose hairs down. If you have bangs make sure to pin them back.
  • If you cannot do ponytail due to length, you can do a half up and half down. If too short for either, just be sure it’s out of your face.

  • Eye shadow – use natural colors. Tan and browns look great, nothing bold, earth tone colors work best.

 Showcase Important Information

  • Check in at the purple curtain at the side of the auditorium lobby. Please only send one person back for drop off and pick up. This will help prevent overcrowding backstage. No males behind the purple curtain as this is a dressing area. We have adults assigned to stay with each group during the performance.
  • Discovery Dancers can be picked up right after their performance and awards on Stage. Discovery dancers are not required to stay until the finale but are welcome to stay if they like to enjoy the performances.
  • All other dancers will stay until the finale and can be picked up on stage after we have finished.
