Makeup should be applied to enhance facial features and ensure they're visible from the stage. Here's a basic guide for all students: Foundation: Use a long-lasting, matte foundation that matches your skin tone to even out complexion and provide a smooth base. Concealer: Apply concealer under the eyes to cover any dark circles and brighten the area. Powder: Set your makeup with a translucent powder to reduce shine and keep it in place throughout the performance. Eyeshadow: Use neutral eyeshadows that highlight your eyes. Avoid overly dramatic colors that may appear harsh under stage lighting. Eyeliner: Apply black or brown eyeliner along the upper lash line to define the eyes and make them appear larger. Girls should also add a small wing. Mascara: Coat your lashes with waterproof mascara to prevent smudging or running during the performance. Girls should also wear fake strip eyelashes. Blush: Apply a rosy blush to the apples of your cheeks to add a natural flush of color and enhance your facial contours. Lipstick: The Company red lipstick should be worn. Remember to practice your makeup look before the recital to ensure it enhances your features and complements your costume.

Performers must stay backstage during the duration of the performance, even if they are only in one number. This is to prevent distractions when entering and exiting the theatre, keep backstage operations running smoothly, and ensure the safety of every student.

After performances, parents/guardians may greet their students at the stage door/drop off location. Students will only be dismissed in street shoes.

Performing Arts tuition is a big commitment. Click Here for a comprehensive list of all associated costs.

Classes begin the first week of September and run through to the year end show in June. Take a look at our complete calendar including breaks over the winter, spring, and summer sessions, show dates, and more.

Limelight accepts payments via Credit/Debit Card: Tuition will be auto-charged on the 15th of the month along with a 3% third party processor fee. Any outstanding fees on the account will also be auto-charged on the 15th of the month or as they are reconciled (families are responsible for tracking this and ensuring prompt payment via our online portal).

Limelight welcomes parents to walk their students to their class and ensure their child is settled in before class begins. Once class begins we ask that all parents watch only from our observation windows. It has been demonstrated that having parents in the room can be distracting for the students. Our youngest performers (2-3 years old) may occasionally need assistance and guidance from their parents, therefore depending on the child’s independence, parents may be invited to sit-in on the occasional class.

In order to terminate enrollment or drop a class, you must complete the online withdrawal form at least 7 days prior to the 15th of the month prior to the month you wish to withdraw in. You can find the form here. Monthly billing will continue until Limelight Performing Arts receives notice via the form above. No exceptions will be made to this withdrawal policy.

Conveniently located inside of the studio is Limelight Performing Arts Supply. We can take care of your needs for any uniforms, shoes, attire, and equipment needed for classes. If we don’t have your size, we can custom order for you!

You can sign your student up for the waitlist and we will notify you if space becomes available. If you wish to be guaranteed that you will have a class to attend, we can put your student on the waitlist for the originally preferred class while also accepting a temporary registration for another session.

Our experience shows that following a few simple rules can make a world of difference in this situation. First, on your way to class explain to your child where they are going and what they will be doing, and about the new friends they will meet. Second, always bring your child 5-10 minutes early. Give them time to change, and get into the atmosphere of the class. Bringing a child late and pushing them into the class after it started almost always results in confusion and a feeling of being put on the spot. This leads to crying in many cases. Finally, and contrary to logical thinking, if a child sees a parent during the class they will almost surely want to be with them, and not with other kids dancing. Our toddler methodology is specifically designed for small children of this age. At the Instructor’s discretion, they may invite the parent into a class for a few minutes or may take the child outside for a parent to calm them down. Please follow the instructor’s suggestions, and your child will have the best experience. It usually takes 2-3 classes at most for children to become comfortable with their new friends and the atmosphere. We understand this can be a difficult situation for both students and parents, but ask that you please reflect the rules of the class for your student. Students who are not encouraged to follow the rules of the classroom set the example for the rest of their peers, which can sometimes lead to bad feelings between children. Rest assured that all Limelight instructors have experience with shy students, and this behavior is completely natural and common.

Pre-registration is available for returning students only. We announce schedule and registration via social media and newsletter distribution list several weeks before general registration opens. Class space is limited, therefore we suggest you reserve class space as soon as possible. Please note, cancellations are rare but we do maintain waiting lists for all our programs.

The age at which dancers start pointe work varies from student to student. Strength is paramount in being able to wear pointe shoes for extended periods of time. Premature wearing of pointe shoes or insufficient training can result in serious injury. We are strongly committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our dancers. Children under the age of 10 will not be permitted to perform in showcases on pointe. Our qualified instructors must decide as to when a student is ready for pointe work. In addition, students must take pre-pointe/pointe conditioning for a minimum of a year, and a minimum class requirement of two ballet classes at respective level, before progressing to dancing on pointe.

Trial classes may be set up with the front desk to try out a class before enrolling. A specific Limelight instructor will evaluate your dancer and ensure they are placed in the appropriate level class. For all classes we recommend your performer enroll in a class that seems like the correct level, depending on their amount of experience. Level 1: 0-1 years experience Level 2: 2-3 years experience Level 3: 4-5 years experience Level 4: 5+ years experience *Level does not always correlate to a students years of experience, however this it is a good measure for initial placement. During the first month of classes instructors will evaluate students in class to ensure they are in the correct class.
