GO THRU COSTUME DETAIL SHEETS.
**Moms and Daughters together**
NOTES Everyone MUST READ: (from my judging experiences – for success)
1) A polished dancer IS EXPECTED ( Hair is SLICK and does not look bad by dance number 10 – USE GEL and make braid TIGHT so it does not loosen by later in day – USE correct bobby pins for hair color & thickness ** GO to Sallys for real bobby pins) THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT.

2) Make up needs to look enhancing. Bottom line, moms should do make up (or a mom's friend) – ALL DANCERS NEED EYELASHES for even ONE dance on a competition day. YES – ALL Dancers !
3) Tights CANNOT have holes in them or runs in them
4) Hair pieces and hats must not fall off ( clear elastic, pins, weather stripping…….) Cannot fall off – Again, a dancer should NOT be responsible for doing their own hairpieces. MOMS need to do this.
5) Chokers and Clasps behind necks on costumes need to be reinforced and ensure they will not fall off or un-clasp.
6) ALL nailpolish removed from Fingers and Toes
7) No hair bands on wrists
8) ALL dance shoes need polished and cleaned
9) Dancers have to smile thru entire dances and not lose faces when doing "skills" such as turns, or tricks. Contemporary & Lyrical dances MUST know what their faces are doing.
10) Dancers MUST connect with the judges and audience – FULL ON EYE CONTACT – No looking past or over – LOOK AT !!!!! BE confident.
11) Duets and trios MUST look at each other and have some type of relationship when dancing. You can't ignore the other person or other 2 persons.
12) Dancers in ANY line need to know judges are looking at EVERYONE. Some judges focus on back rows or those that are not doing the ariels….
YOU must be performing and knowing your dances when on stage. ALL dancers get looked at and judged.
13) Walk ON and OFF stage confidently – DO not laugh or talk on stage.
14) IF a song builds in music, so must your energy and face !
