Why We Recital A dance recital is so much more than a performance. It’s a celebration of a dancer’s growth, confidence, and love for the art . Recitals offer a professionally directed stage experience that reflects an entire year of hard work and progress. Students learn more than just choreography—they build self-esteem, teamwork skills, and stage presence  that benefit them in school, social settings, and future endeavors like job interviews or college auditions. The rehearsal and recital process teaches responsibility, dedication, and the joy of working together toward a common goal. The smiles, the applause, the sense of accomplishment— it’s a moment they’ll never forget . Performance Tips & Tricks Arrival Instructions: Arrive 30 minutes before  showtime, fully dressed and recital-ready. Use the side cafeteria doors  for dancer check-in.

Each year, we invite our dancers to have their photos taken in their dance costumes, capturing special memories to cherish for years to come. We are excited to once again welcome Dave Male and the DSM Photography team as our official studio photographers! The week after Spring Break , all classes at our Lumberton location  will be dedicated to capturing stunning studio portraits of our dancers. This exciting week will replace regular classes , giving dancers the chance to showcase their costumes, smiles, and skills in front of the camera. Keep reading for everything you need to know and our top tips to make the most of this special week! Class & Individual Photos Class photos will be taken during each class’s scheduled time, with the option for individual portraits if you choose to order. You can place your order using the link below: https://www.cognitoforms.com/DSMProductions1/EdgeDanceCenter28th3rdPhotoOrderForm Order your photos online before April 28th ! Each class has been assigned a specific time for photos, which coincides with their regular class day and time. The full schedule can be found in the Spring Magazine. Picture Day Tips: Follow all costume and hair instructions provided with your dancer’s costume. Arrive 10-15 minutes early  to ensure a smooth process. Light makeup is recommended—a little blush and lipstick can enhance your dancer’s look without being overpowering. Make sure your dancer’s shoes are clean! A baby wipe is usually all that’s needed to freshen them up. No food while in costume!  Water only, please. Prepare costumes in advance. They may need steaming to remove wrinkles. Tutus do best when hung upside down, and a steamy shower can help release wrinkles. Don’t wait until Picture Day or Recital Day to remove costumes from garment bags—fluff them in advance! A little preparation goes a long way in making your dancer look their best in photos. Parent/Guardian Guidelines To ensure a smooth experience, each dancer should bring only one  parent or guardian to Picture Day. Unfortunately, we do not have space to accommodate additional guests. Any extra family members will need to wait in the car or outside the studio. Parents/guardians will not be permitted in the photo area, as it can be distracting for dancers. Makeup Dates Can’t make your class that week for pictures? No problem! Please contact the studio to let us know. We also have two scheduled makeup picture blocks available: Friday from 7:30–8:00 PM  and Saturday from 1:00–1:30 PM . We’ll do our best to make sure every dancer gets their picture perfect moment! We can’t wait to see our dancers shine in their photos! If you have any questions, please contact the studio. Happy Picture Week!

Welcome to our dance studio blog, where we are delving into the world of stage presence with our competition dance team members, parents, and dancers! Whether you're a seasoned performer or just stepping onto the stage for the first time, nailing the perfect hair and makeup look is essential for making an unforgettable impression under the spotlight. Today, we're sharing some expert tips and step-by-step instructions to help you achieve that flawless performance glow. 1. Preparing Your Canvas: Moisturize and Prime Before diving into the world of makeup, it's crucial to start with a clean and moisturized face. Hydrating your skin ensures that your makeup will apply smoothly and last throughout your performance. Once your skin is prepped, apply a primer suited to your skin type. Primer not only helps to create a smooth base for makeup application but also ensures that your look stays put under the bright lights. Recommended primer: 2. Foundation and Concealer: Flawless Complexion For that flawless stage complexion, opt for a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly. Blend it evenly using a makeup sponge or brush, paying extra attention to areas that need more coverage. Concealer comes next to hide any imperfections or dark circles under the eyes. Remember to blend well for a seamless finish. Recommended foundation: 3. Eye-catching Eyeshadow: Adding Dimension Choose eyeshadow shades that complement your costume and the theme of your performance. Start with a neutral base shade, then build up the intensity with darker shades in the crease and outer corners. Shimmer can add an extra pop for the stage, but be sure to blend everything well for a polished look. Recommended eyeshadow palette: 4. Perfecting the Wing: Eyeliner Create a dramatic winged eyeliner look to make your eyes stand out on stage. Gel or liquid eyeliner works best for achieving sharp lines. Take your time and steady your hand for precision, and don't forget to extend the wing slightly upwards to lift the eyes. 5. Luscious Lashes: Falsies or Mascara For our younger dancers, a coat of mascara can do wonders to enhance natural lashes. However, for our older dancers looking to make a bold statement, false lashes are the way to go. Trim them to fit your eye shape, apply adhesive, and carefully place them as close to your natural lash line as possible for a seamless blend. 6. Striking Lips: Lipstick Choose a lipstick shade that complements your overall look and coordinates with your costume. For a long-lasting finish, consider using a lip liner to outline your lips before applying lipstick. Matte formulas tend to stay put better under stage lights, but don't forget to add a touch of gloss for extra dimension. Competition color Tips: Matte lipsticks work best and stay the longest Gloss and Chapstick can cause hair to get stuck on lips 7. Adding Warmth: Bronzer and Blush To prevent your face from looking flat under the bright lights, add warmth and dimension with bronzer. Apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, temples, and jawline for a sculpted look. Finish off with a pop of blush on the apples of your cheeks for a healthy, rosy glow. 8. Slick and Sleek: Perfecting Your Performance Hairstyle Just as important as your makeup is your hair, which completes your overall stage look. For competitions, a clean and polished hairstyle is essential. Whether you're opting for a classic bun or a high ponytail, using gel and hairspray is key to achieving that sleek finish that will withstand the intensity of your performance. These products not only keep stray hairs in place but also ensure that your hairstyle remains pristine under the stage lights. For more specific hair styling advice tailored to your dance routines and costume choices, don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team. They'll be happy to provide you with personalized recommendations to help you rock your performance with confidence! How to make the perfect recital bun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZYjVCt_27Y Remember, practice makes perfect when it comes to mastering your stage makeup look. Experiment with different techniques and products to find what works best for you and enhances your unique features. And most importantly, wear your confidence as your best accessory—it's the key to truly shining on stage. We can't wait to see you dazzle under the lights!

As the holiday season approaches, finding the ideal gift for the young dancers in your life can be as graceful as a pirouette. Dancers, with their unique needs and preferences, can be quite discerning when it comes to their gear. From little ballerinas to aspiring hip-hop stars, the perfect gift can make all the difference in their dance journey. To guide you in selecting the most thoughtful presents, we turned to the experts—our dance instructors. Here are six gifts that are sure to hit all the right notes for dancers aged 2-18. 1. Personalized Dance Bag: A dancer's life revolves around their gear, and what better way to keep it all organized than with a personalized dance bag? Choose a bag that suits their style, and consider adding their name or a special dance-themed design. It's not just a practical gift; it's a statement piece that reflects their passion. 2. High-Quality Dance Shoes: Like Cinderella and her glass slipper, a dancer's perfect shoe is a game-changer. Consult with their dance instructor or Customer Service Team to determine the right type of shoe for their specific dance style—whether it's ballet, jazz, tap, or hip-hop. Investing in high-quality dance shoes ensures comfort and performance, preventing painful blisters and enhancing their overall dance experience. Click here to see our shoe suggestions for each class. Our students can easily order dance items from Discount Dance Supply. Please support our studio by using our unique code: 48456. First time customers will receive an 8% discount. 3. Dance-Themed Apparel: Who doesn't love to showcase their love for dance outside the studio? Consider gifting them with dance-themed apparel like t-shirts, hoodies, or leggings featuring their favorite dance styles or inspirational dance quotes. Not only does it make a stylish statement, but it also fosters a sense of camaraderie among fellow dancers. We have apparel available at both studio locations! Stay tuned for our upcoming seasonal sales that offer new and exclusive pieces. 4. Personalized Water Bottle: Hydration is key for any athlete, and dancers are no exception. Help them stay refreshed with a personalized water bottle. Choose a design that aligns with their dance style or opt for one with their name and a motivational message. Staying hydrated has never looked so stylish. 5. Portable Dance Floor: For the serious dancer who wants to practice anytime, anywhere, a portable dance floor is a fantastic gift. These roll-up mats provide a consistent and comfortable surface, allowing dancers to practice at home without worrying about the type of flooring. It's a thoughtful and practical gift that nurtures their dedication to the art of dance. 6. Massage and Recovery Tools: Dancing can take a toll on the body, and recovery is crucial for maintaining peak performance. Consider gifting massage and recovery tools like foam rollers, massage balls, or stretching bands. Not only do these tools help prevent injuries, but they also contribute to overall muscle flexibility and well-being. For delightful stocking stuffers that will bring extra flair to their dance routines, consider adding headbands, tutus, and skirts to the mix. These small yet vibrant accessories add a touch of personality to any dance ensemble: New leotards are always a welcome addition, providing comfort and style for their practice sessions. For a cozy touch, warm-up gear like sweaters or shoulder shrugs ensures they stay warm and flexible during colder weather. Leg warmers are not only practical but also a trendy throwback to classic dance fashion. And let's not forget the fun side – include some playful hair scrunchies that add a pop of color and keep their dance-ready hairstyles in place. These charming stocking stuffers will make their holiday season even more magical! Remember, the best gifts come from the heart, and understanding a dancer's unique needs and preferences will make your present truly special. Whether it's a personalized touch or a practical tool for their dance journey, these gifts are sure to bring a smile to the faces of the dancers in your life. Happy gifting and happy dancing!
