• In general, ballet classes require pink tights and all other classes require tan tights. Please ensure these are purchased in advance if you require new ones.
• A body stocking is recommended to wear underneath costume; these also allow students to change safely.

Hair and make-up:

• Stage make-up is required and students will need to do their own. Here’s a handy guide. If you have any questions regarding stage make-up, just reply to this email, we’re happy to help.
• Hair to be styled as per teacher’s advice, very neat and secure with plenty of gel/hairspray and bobby pins. Generally for all our performances it is: high bun for ballet/high ponytail for everything else, although some classes may differ.
• Students should arrive at the theatre with hair and make-up (except lipstick) already done; however if you need help, older students will be happy to help younger students if needed – please pack their hair kits and make-up.
• Lipstick can be applied just before performance time if needed (red lipstick only please).
