Recital make-up is a look to set off the costume and set the mood of the dance piece. Those little extras capture the era and style of the number. Whether the dance is 1950s Grease, a ballet classic, or futuristic pop, its the make-up and hair that finishes the look and creates the fantasy. Preparation will ease the stress of worrying if your performers will all show up looking polished and stage ready. A stage makeup rehearsal will get everyone on the same page, work out any challenges beginners might have and help create that uniform look of a truly pulled together production.
