how to do a ballet bun for the concert

Please see a fabulous and easy-to-follow tutorial below on how to do your dancer's hair in a bun for the end of year concert!

2024 onwards NO DONUTS to be used except for very short or extremely fine hair when SMALL donuts may be used only.

Make-up for Junior Girls

We would like the stage make-up to be very natural and child friendly. Our junior dance students use a lip colour called Continuous Coral. Make-up is available to purchase in the correct colours from the studio.

Senior STUDENTS MAKE-UP

Our dancers need to use the lip colour Eternal Cherry. The correct lip colour and eye makeup is available to purchase from the studio. Please source your own foundation, mascara etc.

False eye lashes

Senior Dancers should ideally wear false lashes at the Empire Theatre, as it is such a large stage with incredible lighting. However, if you really can't get them to work (there is an art to it!) simply make sure your wear LOADS of mascara and a nice thick black top eyeliner to create a similar effect.
