What to pack/bring
1. Enough food and water to get your dancer through the day – lunch, plenty of snacks, and a drink bottle. Note that our studio is NUT FREE, as we have a number of students with life-threatening nut allergies; please do not pack any foods containing peanuts or tree nuts.
2. Something to keep your dancer entertained while they’re not on stage, e.g. reading material, card games, colouring in, devices. Please make sure all items are labelled with the student’s name. Dance Northside takes no responsibility if items are lost.
3. Street clothes for your dancer to put on after the performance – students will be asked to change out of and return the costumes provided to them by Dance Northside before leaving the theatre.
4. If they’re in multiple routines, all of your dancer’s costumes – including any required footwear and undergarments (e.g. white singlet, black leggings)
5. Makeup and hair styling tools/products, in case touch ups are needed over the course of the day.

Make up information
Makeup is completely optional and should be kept natural and minimal. Dance Northside does not usually advocate for makeup on children, but since we are performing in a lit theatre, we recommend a little bit, so the features of your dancer’s face are not washed out under the bright stage lights. If choosing to wear makeup, our suggestion of what to apply is below:
- Foundation
- Blush
- Brown eyeshadow
- Black eyeliner
- Black mascara
- Reddish-brown lipstick
