You will be updated through email of differing info in these instances. Please email any and all photos you have from the season to CarrolltonAD@gmail.com so they can be added to the annual slideshow. IF YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER OF THE COMPETITION TEAM, PARKER DANCE COMPANY, YOU DO NOT PERFORM AT THE SUNDAY SHOW! Many classes are scheduled to perform in both the 1:00pm and the 6:00pm shows. We encourage parents to watch one show and volunteer to work backstage one show in these cases. Volunteer info is included in this packet. We have done our best to ensure siblings and/or individual dancers have all dances in the same show. IF you find that we have missed your dancer(s) in regards to this matter please email carrolltonad@gmail.com BEFORE May 10 to discuss alternate options.
Hair and Makeup PG 3 Hair - ALL DANCERS are to have their hair in a classical ballet bun at the crown of the head, NO BANGS. Hair must be pulled up/back TIGHTLY to avoid fly aways. You must use GEL, not just hairspray, to maintain a clean, neat look when creating a nice and neat bun. Using a bristle brush and wetting the hair also aids in pulling back the hair for a sleek look without fly aways. NO BUN MAKERS OR DONUTS. Check out this tutorial on youtube for more instruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y38qzlculeg PLEASE be sure all head pieces are sent with your dancer. Our backstage workers will secure all head pieces before the show so that all dancers look the same. Be sure to pack a small bag of bobby pins and hairspray for your dancer. Make Up - While makeup is not required for the younger dancers, PLEASE NOTE that any dancer without makeup on WILL NOT show up on stage. Essentially, you will see their costume, but not their face! We suggest and recommend that ALL dancers wear makeup. Check out this tutorial on youtube for more instruction: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=jjk9gds8rxg Yes, the makeup is done heavy... This is for stage purposes. Use dark browns and neutral eye shadows, black liner, black mascara (fake eyelashes are recommended for ages 7 and up), and RED lipstick. AVOID THE FOLLOWING COLORS OF EYESHADOW: Blue, Purple, Pink, Dark Gray, and Black. Stage lighting is very bright and very harsh, washing out all facial features of all skin tones. PLEASE NO NAIL POLISH OTHER THAN CLEAR OR SHORT/NATURAL NAIL FRENCH MANICURE. PDC Dancers: Follow hair instructions above for BOTH Saturday shows. Competition Makeup with red glitter lips will be worn for BOTH Saturday shows as well. Sunday Showcase will be full competition hair and makeup. Make life easier with a Make Up Kits......similar to the kits used by Parker Dance Company members can be ordered for you if you wish! Kit will include eye shadow palette, eye pencil, blush, lip stick pencil, and red lip glitter. Order your full kit for $50. Red lip stick pencil and red lip glitter combo can be ordered separately for $25. Order your kit or lip glitter combo at the front desk or by email NO LATER than THURSDAY, MAY 17!
