Names on Dancewear:

Suggestion: A dance bag will help keep things together and organized. Thanks! Please check the overflowing lost and found in the hallway by the studios, to see if any of your items are in there.
Making a Ballet Bun:
- To start the process gather the hair and pull it back. If your child has bangs, leave them alone for now, they will be pinned to the side after the bun is complete.
- Use a hair brush to smooth out rough or uneven areas. Form a pony tail by brushing the hair up.
- Use an elastic hair band to secure the pony tail. A tidy pony tail with hair drawn snugly back is the key to making a good ballet bun.
- Apply water to the ponytail to keep the hair neat, and twist the pony tail.
- Coil the pony tail into a tight circle.
- Use a few "U"-shaped hair pins through the outer part of the coil to secure it to the rest of the hair. Slide each pin through the outer part of the coil, then into the base of the bun.
- Wrap a fine hair net around the bun. Keep twisting and wrapping so the hair net tightly secures the bun.
- Use a few more pins to secure the bun.
- For extra hold, when the bun and hair are all secure, use hairspray. Use bobby pins to secure any "wispies" or stray hair. If your child has bangs, dampen them slightly, comb to one side and secure with bobby pins. Spray with hairspray for extra hold.
- See this Youtube video for a short demo and the finished product.
See bulletin board at class for more details about making your ballet buns!
