Important Tips!

Concert Day Reminders

  • Clean, unmarked ballet tights and shoes?

  • Hairpins, bun net, and extra hair supplies and hair spray?

  • Makeup essentials? (Lipstick, powder, etc.)

  • Have I organised tickets?

  • Is the costume ready to go?

  • Snacks packed that aren’t messy, and a labelled water bottle? Snack Suggestions: Pretzels, plain rice cakes, apples (avoid strawberries, cordials, or any items that can stain).

  • Zip-up jacket for dancers to wear without impacting their hair or makeup. The studio one is a great option, but if you don’t have that any zip-up jacket is great. Please avoid hoodies as they are hard to take on and off with hair and makeup.
