Dress Code
FEMALE BALLET/POINTE STUDENTS
All girls/women in our ballet classes should wear ballet pink or white tights, pink ballet slippers, and a modest leotard. Shirts/tank tops, shorts, sweats, leggings, long skirts, and jewelry are NOT permitted.
Children’s Division
PRE-PRIMARY: Light pink leotard
PRIMARY: Lilac leotard
LEVEL 1: Mulberry leotard
LEVEL 2: Light blue leotard

These levels are also permitted to wear any style of short skirt or tutu, but it must be at least two inches above the knee.
Pre-Professional Division
LEVEL 4: Royal blue leotard
LEVEL 5: Maroon leotard
LEVEL 6: Black leotard
Students in these levels are ONLY permitted to wear a short wrap or pull-on dance skirt.
All female students must have their hair SECURED in a ballet bun, not a loosely tied knot or ponytail. Not only is this the professional standard in ballet, but having your hair down makes it difficult for teachers to see your neck and shoulder alignment and negatively impacts turns.
