There will be no classes this week.
Please look over the schedule carefully.
Be at the studio ready for photos 15 minutes early. We always run on time! If you are not here on time, you will miss your picture.
Students should come dressed in their recital costume with hair and makeup done.
Hair Requirements for Girls: Hair in a slicked-back bun, centre part. Bun should be in the back, centred at ear level. Bun-making supplies are available through the studio store if needed. (Do your best! We know some dancers have very short hair. It’s easier to do when hair is wet.)
Hair Requirements for Boys: Spiked with gel, or tied back nearly for long hair.
Makeup Requirements: Brown eyeshadow, Black eyeliner, Black Mascara, Red lipstick (Makeup does not need to be heavy, but we do ask dancers to wear some. The bright lights can really wash out faces and the makeup helps faces to appear clearly.) Company classes wear eyelashes.
Our YouTube Channel has tutorials to help you! Make-Up and Hair tutorials are both available.
Silks students should wear their black bodysuit and leggings, barefeet and hair in a slicked back bun. Make-up is optional (though many will already be wearing make-up for their dance photos).
Session dance class students should wear their regular dance attire. We will provide tutus for Tots, Kinder and Movers & Shakers dancers. Make-up is optional (you will see and hear messaging about make-up for the classes who are performing in the recital and will be in costume).
Attending photos does not mean you are required to purchase them. If you wish to purchase photos, you will be able to view proofs and order online 4-6 weeks after the photo days. An email will be sent home when proofs are ready, along with instructions for ordering. Photo pricing information is available here.
Photos are taken by class, both as a group and individually. If you prefer to only have individual photos taken, please attend one of the scheduled “Flex Times”. If you are unable to attend your group’s scheduled photo time, you can attend one of the “Flex Times”. No appointment needed, just come during one of those sessions. Please note we can not guarantee enough time to climb a silk during the Flex Times, it will depend on how many others are also dropping in.
