- For continuity throughout all studios and classes, please follow the below requirements.
- It is essential that the correct dance attire be worn in class at all times so teachers may observe proper placement and alignment.
- Hair must always be secured and neatly pulled back. A bun must always be worn for Ballet. Scrunchies are not an acceptable hair tie, they do not securely hold hair back/up.
- When dressed like a dancer, students FEEL like a dancer and will be more confident!
- Dress codes also help remind dancers that they are a part of a group. The following items are selected specifically for each level.
- Please purchase these specific items from our suggested retailers listed below. Support small business dancewear shops!
- We are transitioning to some new items. If an item is new, you may wear your current style until you need to purchase the new item.
- For the safety of our dancers, jewelry may not be worn in class. Small stud earrings are the only jewelry permitted in class.
