Theatrical Make-Up Class this Saturday...taught by May Hafkamp!

This Sat. from 10:00 - 11:30 , our level 6 and 7 will enjoy a stage make up class, taught by theatrical make up artist May Hafkamp. Plan to arrive at your normal class time of 9:30, during which Miss Janine will give you a short barre to wake you up...:).

While May will be bringing her theatrical make up, (it is very different from normal street wear make up) please bring a few products from home, if you have them. Essential products are some form of base/foundation, blush for contouring, eye liner, shadow, and mascara. There will be some make up at the studio you may borrow, but for sanitary reasons, it is best to bring and use what you have from home (especially when using mascara and other eye products).

While for our little ones, stage make up is optional, for our upper level ballet classes, stage make up is an essential part of dance performance…normal street make up is simply not professional, as you will look completely washed out, and your mouth and eyes disappear. We want to present bright vibrant faces to our audience!

Also, please note…If you are not going straight home after class, you may wish to bring make up remover (baby oil works well) and a washcloth, as stage make up may looks a little intense on the soccer field…:)

We are so excited to have May Hafkamp share her expertise and experience with us at Inland Northwest Ballet!
