“Show Ready”
“Show Ready” is the phrase we use to indicate dancers have their hair and makeup done and are in costume or ready to be in costume quickly.
For dancers in one class:
Arrive for shows in costume with sweatpants/zip or button up shirt over top.
For dancers in multiple classes:
Arrive for shows in skin tone base (Leotard & tights) with sweatpants/zip or button up shirt over top with costumes neatly in a garment bag.
Costumes
Costumes will be packaged in a garment bag with your dancer’s name on it and a list of the costumes and accessories for each of their classes.
Students should not play in their costumes before the show. Please keep them hung in a closet and safe until May 31.
It is recommended that dancers in multiple classes have a skin tone leotard to wear under their costumes. This makes it more comfortable for dancers changing in the dressing room.
Generally, tights serve in place of underwear when wearing a costume. Dancers who are not comfortable going without underwear or who wish to wear a bra should find those items in a color that is as close as possible to their skin tone.
If you would like to order a skin tone leotard, bra, or briefs through Malashock Dance please contact kaely@malashockdance.org
Makeup
Dancers are required to wear makeup for dress rehearsal and performance. This helps to keep their features discernible on the stage.
Dancers should wear –
Brown Smokey Eye Shadow
Eyeliner
Mascara
Blush
Red Lipstick
