Cover maker preset
Ballet and dance Facebook covers
Dance is about movement, and the best dance covers feel like motion. Many of the covers people saved in the old gallery were photos of ballerinas taken by other people, with soft pinks, tulle and stage light. This preset keeps the mood without borrowing anyone's photo. It gives you ballet pinks, the deep dark of a theater with a spotlight, and loose, flowing lines that read like a skirt in a turn.
The waves style is the main look here. Five soft layers ripple across the cover like ribbons or fabric, and in the pastel palettes they feel light and airy. Bokeh in the dark palettes looks like stage lights seen from the wings. The quote card style is good for a single line in big type. Pacifico, a flowing script, is the default font; switch to Josefin Sans for a cleaner, modern-studio feel.
The palettes cover ballet (blush, pink and lilac), a stage at night (black with red and gold), a vintage dusty rose, a classic black and white for contemporary and hip hop, and a bright purple and neon palette for jazz, competition and showcase teams.

Tips for ballet & dance covers
Dancers: one word is enough
A single word like "Ballet" or "Tap" in large script over the waves can say it all. Put your studio or company name in the small line underneath.
Studios: dates that matter
Dance studios have a busy calendar. Use the small line for what parents need right now: "Registration open until Sept 5" or "Recital season: June 14". Change it as the year goes on.
Dance moms and dads
Recital and competition weekends are a good time for a proud cover. "Pointe shoes and big dreams" or the year of a first recital is personal without putting a child's name or photo on a public cover.
Spotlight look
For a stage feel, choose the black and gold palette with the bokeh style and turn the density low. A few big glowing circles look like spotlights on a dark stage. White text works best here.
Watch the profile photo
Your profile photo covers part of the lower left. Shuffle the waves so the busiest curves sit on the right, and keep text above or to the right of the profile picture.
Your own photos
If you have a great photo from a performance, use it, but check that the photographer is fine with that. Event photographers often own the rights to recital photos, even of your own child. Our copyright guide has more.
