Dressing for Performances
• NUDE or NO undergarments are to be worn under tights/costumes.
• All tap shoes should be tied in double knots.
• All strings in ballet shoes should be knotted, cut to about an inch in length, and tucked into the shoes so they cannot be seen.

• Absolutely no nail polish should be worn for the rehearsal or performance. Also, please leave all jewelry at home during rehearsals. Only performance jewelry should be worn during performances. Inspired Dance Academy will not be responsible for lost or stolen items.

• Please bring extra safety pins, bobby pins, hair ties, and tights.
• All parents should enter through the front doors of the auditorium only. NO ONE IS TO USE THE BACK DOOR OF THE VENUE. After taking students to the dressing area, parents should proceed to the front of the auditorium and wait for the doors to open. Only parents who are working should be backstage or in the dressing areas once students are dressed and in the care of their assigned helpers.
• Anyone entering the auditorium for the performance will need a ticket - regardless of age.
Make up:
A dancer's make-up should be more intense than normal make-up to enhance the costume and keep the dancer from looking washed out and/or pale on stage.
Stage make-up consists of:
• Foundation
• Eyeliner
• Mascara
• Blush
• Lipstick
• False Eyelashes (required to be worn by older dancers only)
Hair
Please consult your dance instructor for appropriate hairstyles.

However, please refer back to newsletters or your recital packet before calling with questions. Most answers to your question can be found in our newsletter/handbook information.
