Dance attire is designed not only to provide as much freedom of motion as possible but also to allow the teacher a clear view of the body for corrections. Safety is a consideration in our dress code. Loose jewelry, loose clothing and flying hair could be a safety hazard for your child and others. It is mandatory that students follow the dress code appropriate to the class in which they are participating.

For all ballet classes, long hair should be pulled off the face in a bun. Short hair should be pulled back with a hair band. For classes other than ballet, hair must be tied back in a pony tail or a bun.

Appropriate class attire is specified below:
