Additional Notes

• Students’ hair must be neat and in place, pulled back off of their face and neck. In Ballet, a bun is required at all times. Loose hair is an impediment while dancing and is a distraction to the dancer during class. When hair is secured properly, it allows the student to completely focus on their dancing.

• No jewelry (except for small earrings) is to be worn to class, rehearsals, or performances.

• The appropriate dance shoes must be worn in class. Ballet and Jazz can not be executed properly in bare feet or tights. Elastic is to be on all Ballet shoes, and all Jazz shoes should be tied in double-knots. If you do not have your dance shoes with you for class, your teacher will ask you to observe.

• For all Jazz classes, black jazz pants and any color leotard may be worn.

• Warm-ups may be worn during barre/warm-up at the teacher’s discretion. Please check with your teacher for their policy on warm-ups.

In order to make accurate technical corrections, the teacher must be able to view the student clearly without the obstruction of extra garments. Sloppy attire encourages sloppy performance. Dress beautifully and the dancing will follow! Would you wear ballet attire to hip hop? Of course not, so why would you wear hip hop attire to ballet?

You will dance as you have dressed. Your attire sets the tone for how you will dance.
