Buns are preferred, but a ponytail or a braid is allowed. 

 

*Proper attire includes: leotards, form fitted shirt or tank, tights, dance skirt, dance shorts, dance leggings, ballet shoes (pink leather for girls/black leather for boys), black tap shoes. Proper attire allows us to move freely and see body alignment. No baggy clothing or street clothes allowed. This is for your dancer’s safety, and respectful to the discipline of dance.

Dancers should have their name written on all dance shoes, and will not wear dance shoes outside. This protects your shoes and our floors!
