All students are expected to keep a neat appearance for dance class. Hair is to be kept neatly away from the face and in a proper ballet bun for all ballet classes (pre-ballet - level 5). Jewlery is not permitted in class (stud earrings are okay). It is the industry standard to not wear underwear with leotards. Tights are regarded as the dancers undergarments and are designed with a cotton gusset. If undegarments are deemed necessary, they must be flesh colored and high cut so that they can not be seen hanging below the leotard. Our leotards were carefully picked so that dancers needing extra support can wear a bra that can be completely hidden. Please no racer back style sports bras. We have a list of acceptable undergarment options on our dress code link listed above.
