Q: What are the hair and makeup requirements for dress rehearsal and recital day?
A: HAIR: See Females hairstyle below. Boys will simply wear their hair slicked back and out of the face.

- For this hairstyle, you will need to:
- Part hair straight down the middle
- Apply product, such as mousse/hairspray to give it a sleeker look
- Pull back each side into a low ponytail in the back of the head
- Braid ponytail(not required, this step is just helpful for students with thick hair)
- Wrap ponytail into a bun and secure with bobby pins
Hairstyle for girls for picture day and recial.

- Will be done using a neutral eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner (older girls), foundation and blush as needed, and the lip color will need to be the NYX lip cream in color Rome.

A: All dancers(with the exception of acro and hip-hop only students) will be required to wear stockings with their costumes for picture day and recital. You will need to purchase the Light Tan or Tan for darker skin tights from Bloch. You can purchase these at Ultimate on Verot and they will make sure you get the right stockings.
Q: How will I know important dates and times coming up as we get closer to recital?
A: For convenience, our primary means of communication is via email and the gomotionapp. You will receive regular newsletters and important information via email so please ensure you have provided the studio with an up-to-date email address that is regularly checked. We are of course happy to include multiple email addresses per family if you would like your correspondence sent to numerous recipients.

We also always display important information, dates and studio details on our Announcements wall in lobby so please have a quick look when dropping off and picking up in case there is anything you may have missed.
Q: Are there any important dates that I should be expecting as we get closer to recital?
