Attire For the movement safety of your dancer and to allow instructors to see body lines and give appropriate corrections that prohibit misalignment and injury we ask that you dress your dancer in age appropriate attire described below.
​
Girls: leotard (solid color), pink tights, pink leather*or canvas only ballet slippers.
Boys: white form fitting t-shirt, black biker shorts or leggings, white or black leather* or canvas ballet slippers (thin white ankle/knee socks can also be worn).
Hair: all hair should be secured off the face and longer hair in a pony tail or bun.
* Avoid purchasing ballet slippers at target or shoe stores. The soles of these ballet slippers tend to be stiff and don't allow the dancer to point well. Also shoes should be form fitting with the toes resting (not curled under) against the tip of the shoe. Shoes that are too large don't allow for proper movement efficiency.
