RECITAL TIME
Rhythms of the Mitten
Welcome Parents! This is your go-to page for everything you need to be recital ready! As we get closer to the big event, we’ll continue updating it with the most important details. Here, you’ll find costume info, hair and makeup guides, required shoes and tights, the show lineup, recital week schedule, and more. Be sure to check back often so you don’t miss any updates—we can’t wait to celebrate this amazing show with all of you! 💃🌸🩰
Recital Hair/Makeup
Hair in Bun*
*Unless otherwise instructed on the costume sheet
Blush
Eyeshadow
Mascara
​
Stage makeup might feel like a little extra, but it helps dancers’ expressions stand out under the bright stage lights and ensures their features are visible to the audience—even from the back row. It’s all part of bringing the performance to life!
