Dress Code

Our dress code is designed to ensure the safety, comfort, and success of every dancer. Proper attire allows instructors to accurately assess technique and helps students move safely and confidently. Students are expected to arrive prepared for class; those who do not meet dress code requirements may be asked to sit out and observe.

Ballet

Girls/Women: Leotard (any solid color), pink or white tights, and pink ballet slippers. Hair should be pulled back in a tight bun.

Additional Footwear & Attire:

  • Character shoes, ballet skirts, and pointe shoes may be worn as applicable to the class level and instructor requirements.

For safety and proper instruction, sweatpants, tear-away/plastic pants, crop tops, and jewelry are not permitted.

Male students should wear a fitted T-shirt or athletic top, paired with fitted shorts or athletic pants.

For boys and girls, long hair must be securely pulled back away from the face. Ponytails, braids, or buns should be secured low on the back of the head. High ponytails will make acro moves (especially rolls) difficult.
