  • Dancers should arrive in costume with hair and makeup done.
  • If a dancer has more than one class, there will be a designated changing area for costume changes.

  • Please plan on being at the auditorium for approximately 1-hour and additional time if dancers are in more than one class.
  • Class photos will be taken at dress rehearsal "behind-the-scenes" so no further scheduling is necessary.

Recital Performances - Saturday, June 3 at Zeeland East High School's Dewitt Auditorium

  • Each class has been assigned to at least one of three shows on that day.

Recital Make-Up Instructions

We fully understand it seems strange to be putting makeup on your child, especially if they are young. It is important that their faces don't look washed out and show-up on stage and on your videos.

Here is what we recommend: 
- Foundation: A color that closely matches their skin tone
- Eyes: A darker brown color towards the bottom of the lid to the crease of their eye and then blended with a lighter nude color from the crease to the ridge of the eye. A dark brown or black eyeliner and black mascara. 
- Cheeks: A nude to light pink blush starting from the apple of the cheek and blending towards the ear
- Lips: A darker pink or red.
