Students must arrive on time, in FULL HAIR and MAKE-UP (without Lipstick). Please label their lipstick with their name and bring it in a plastic bag. Always a good idea to put their name on everything! They will apply lipstick before they go on stage. Dancers should already be dressed in their nude leotards with clean, pink tights and should wear something comfortable and easy to take off over their leotard (e.g. a comfy zip up tracksuit).
