Performance Hair Secrets for Dancers
Buns That Stay All Day

This workshop focuses on creating clean, secure, stage-ready hairstyles that hold up under movement and performance conditions. Dancers will learn how to execute polished buns and common performance variations while developing confidence in doing their own hair independently.

Emphasis is placed on neatness, durability, and efficiency—helping dancers feel prepared and professional onstage without added stress on performance days.

As dancers advance, expectations extend beyond steps and technique. These workshops provide practical tools that support confidence, self-sufficiency, and professionalism—skills that serve dancers well throughout their training and performance experiences.

Price: $10 per workshop or $25 for all 3.

Parents of pre-teens should attend along with dancers. Parents of teens are also welcome!
