Costumes also serve as an avenue for children to explore and roleplay. Children can dress up in various forms; for example characters from history or fiction like pirates, princesses or cowboys, common jobs like nurses or police officers, or animals such as those seen in zoos or farms.
The amount of make-up used on a dancer depends on the venue, lighting, and the distance of the audience. To enhance the dancerâs face and make it visible from a distance, the faceâs bone structure should be emphasized, there should be a space between the eyebrows, and the eyes should stand out. The further away the audience is the bolder make-up required (Cooper 78).
