7 HOW TO MAKE A BUN! Dancers hair should be pulled up off their shoulders as much as possible, in a bun. *NO BANGS* Hair by Sylvia Sylvia will be available to style your dancers hair in a bun for $7 (price includes hair net). For more information please contact Sylvia at: Sylvia.sweeney97@gmail.com SPACE IS VERY LIMITED! Make sure to book as soon as possible.
8 Stop by the Studio on from 9:30am 10am This is the perfect time to learn you need to know about our upcoming Rehearsals & Recitals. PLEASE NOTE: Carroll Manor Dance Studio is NOT responsible for lost or damanged costumes once in our dancers possession. 1.) MOST IMPORTANT TIP: HANG YOUR COSTUME UP! Tutus should be hung upside down to help add that special fluff! 2.) PLEASE LABEL EVERYTHING WITH YOUR NAME Put your name on ALL of your costume pieces (Shoes and accessories should be labeled too.) 3.) GET THOSE WRINKLES OUT! Hang your costume up and place on the back of your bathroom door. The steam from your shower will help with the wrinkles. Do this now to avoid a wrinkled costume for pictures and the recital. 4.) RELIEVE THE ITCHINESS!!! This may sound crazy but spray cheap aerosole hairspray on the glitter and/or sequin portion. This will create a extra layer to help when touching the dancers skin. You can also use a product like Band-Aid Friction Stick. It will create a silicone layer. 5.) NO UNDERGARMENTS!!! Do you require undergarments under your costumes? If so, you should purchase a nude leotard as NO UNDERGARMENTS are to be worn under costumes (with the exception of tights). Remember dance tights have a panty liner sewn into them. We will go over this newsletter and take any questions you may have. Please RSVP to CMRCDanceDirector@gmail.com no later than Feb. 7th. We hope to see you there! To avoind things getting lost we hold onto all small accessories till Picture Day (March 23 rd ). Once these are handed out they re your responsibility.
