Your child’s costume is what they will wear for dress rehearsal and recital. The costumes and accessories are in bags passed out during class.

Information about which tights are needed, as well as hair and makeup, is located in the Costume section in the Parent Portal. Tights need to be purchased at Rising Star so all performers have the correct color.

Costume care information for Dancing Stars, Pre-Ballet, and Ballet Levels 1-7 is included on the front of the garment bags.

All of the young ladies can wear “Studio Makeup”, unless otherwise specified by the teacher. We have a studio makeup tutorial available on our Rising Star YouTube. https://youtu.be/iAdBxLoKD1A The link can also be found in your Parent Portal in the Shared Files under the Recital Details tab, as well as on our website.

There are many lights on the stage that wash out the dimensions of a person’s 3-dimensional face, making it hard to see their expressions. Adding stage make-up exaggerates the features of the face and helps to show the expressions of the performers from the audience. Overall, it helps to ensure they can be seen and recognized from the back of the audience.

Hairstyles for your performer’s class will be posted in your Parent Portal under the Costumes section.

Hair tutorials can be found on our Website, you can see our Bun Tutorial on YouTube at https://youtu.be/xiRlmj6F-ao

Information such as Recital Etiquette, Studio Makeup Tutorial, Bun Tutorial, call time, Rehearsal schedules and Recital schedules will be found in your BLUE FOLDERS — which were distributed before spring break — or in your Parent Portal under the Costumes section.

A call time is the actual time your performer needs to be at NCHS for their dress rehearsal and recital.

Our Recitals are about 2-2 ½ hours in length and we do not have an intermission. Each Recital has a Finale/Bow (all students are expected to be part of the Finale) at the end of the recital that allows the performers to come together one last time and receive one last applause for the hard work and dedication they put into their performance.

Yes! Rising Star has a Live Link available to purchase for those who cannot attend. To find the link to buy access to all four shows, go to our Recital LIVE Link page.
