It’s important that your dance competition costume represents you, the song your dancing to and the impression your trying to give.
With the start of school out of the way and the harvest moon quickly approaching it is time to start thinking about Halloween. As much as I would like too, making Halloween costumes is just not in my time budget, not to mention that it is cheaper to buy discount dance costumes then it is to make them.
We’ve all seen it. The dance performances where the children just stand out front and stare awkwardly at the audience. Everyone in the audience laughs and cheers at the sweet 5 — 6 year olds in their adorable childrens dancewear, standing or barely swaying to the tune. It’s a lot more uncomfortable though for the 11 or 13 year old who, may be a wonderful dancer in rehearsal, but has a bad case of dance recital jitters.
Preparing for dance festivals and competitions can be complicated, but after awhile creating the perfect hair for dance can be easy and routine. Whether your child is in one or ten dances, she will need her hair up and in a bun for the recital or competition.
