Costume Collection: Next Saturday the 26th of November 10am-12pm
Due to costume collection being held next weekend we have decided to combine classes. Students will still receive their normal 45min class however their timeslot will be altered. It is important for younger students to watch older students dance as often as possible because they can learn from their peers and be inspired. During this time the very special Miss Jacinta will be teaching the students about the importance of stage presence, exit and entrances, back stage behaviour, and much more! Miss Jacinta has had much stage experience in her many years of dancing. She is very excited to see this year’s routines and give them a touch of her own special magic!
Next Saturday the 26th of November timetable is as follows-
· 9am-9:45am Future stars and Junior Jazz
· 9:45am-10:30am Junior Ballet and Intermediate Ballet
· 10:30am- 11:15am Intermediate Modern and Senior Modern
· 11:15am-12:00pm Intermediate Jazz and Senior Jazz
There will be no performance on this day. Performance students have had extra rehearsals during the year that will make up for the loss of this class.
Please keep an eye on the blog- It contains all the important concert information you have received by note plus more!!!! http://www.steppingoutforbes.blogspot.com/
If you have any questions please contact Miss Emma at emma-jane.trudgett1@det.nsw.edu.au

Make up Guide
Makeup Guide:
It's that time of year again when we dive into our treasure trove of make up and get our little darlings looking gorgeous for the stage! Why do we need to put make up on the kids? Well, though your little dancer may look like a mini drag queen off stage, I can assure you that on stage, they will just look like their sweet little self (with just a touch more pizzazz.) The lighting used can wipe them out and make it very hard for them to dazzle us with their brightest smiles so they need a little help to highlight their features PLUS IT'S FUN! Little girls love make up! Mums, I feel your pain....it's hard to get animated, excited little faces still long enough to weave your magic wand. And then there is the liquid eye liner....oh and the tears, you forget how easily and often little faces can crumple into tears until you spy your pain stakingly applied handy work sliding down their faces. BUT know this, it does get easier and quicker. A little bit of practise before the big day and you are good to go. Remember, children, like animals smell fear! Go into the application with confidence and assertiveness. You are a make up magician. Here is my guide to lighting up our Dancers faces.* Use a foundation in their shade ( you can go one shade darker than skin tone for stage but make sure you cover neck etc as well). I suggest using a sponge to apply. It's much quicker and much better for coverage. Some skin tones may not require much foundation.* DO use powder to blot out shininess and it will help rest of make up to go on with ease and stay on.* Use a white highlighter (shadow or powder form- some have a real sheen or a glitter) and lightly place under eye area and along cheekbone. Get your little one to suck in cheeks and generously apply hot pink blusher (for very rosy cheeks.)* Closing eyes, cover entire eye area in white or ivory eyeshadow. Using a brown eye shadow cover entire eye lid. Accentuate corner of eye with a darker brown shade. Trace top lid with crayon eye liner in black and extend along eye in a cat's eye. (I use a crayon liner rather than pencil as it is easier on little faces). Use crayon liner under eye as well but below natural line so as to enlarge eyes.* Use a white eye liner in corner of eyes on both sides.* If using false eye lashes apply now. Use glue on both lashes and paint along upper lid. Press firmly and hold until fully dry. If not using eye lashes ( on little ones etc) just use mascara on top and lower lashes. Apply LOTS especially if they are fair.* You can then if you like go over crayon with liquid eye liner ( I use the pen ones) as again they are much easier.* On fair children , it is important to draw in eye brows in slightly darker shade than hair. Just lightly colour in.* Outline lips in lip liner- I colour in lips with it as well and then apply lip stick! HOT PINK- as bright as you can find!!
