• We allow dancers to wear any combination of dance attire - leotard, tights, leggings, tanks, shorts - that are form-fitting and allow staff to see proper alignment and technique in class. No loose clothing or denim for any class. Warm layers may be worn for warm-ups but should be removed at the request of staff as necessary.

  • 3rd Grade and older Female Ballet Dancers should wear a leotard and tights only and have hair in a bun (or equivalent) for every class. No exceptions. No skirts during barre work, please.
