Other attire notes

  • Students’ hair must be neat and in place, pulled back off of their face and neck. In Ballet, a bun is required at all times (How to create a Ballet Bun). Loose hair is an impediment while dancing and is a distraction to the dancer during class. When hair is secured properly, it allows the student to completely focus on their dancing.
  • No jewelry (except for small earrings) is to be worn to class or rehearsals.
  • The appropriate dance shoes must be worn in class. Ballet and Jazz can not be executed properly in bare feet or tights. Elastic is to be on all Ballet shoes. Please change into dance shoes when you arrive.
  •  It is suggested that leotard and tights be worn without undergarments, however there are dance bras and nude dance undergarments with clear straps for the young women who need this.
