Tips/Recommendations

Hair: Students’ hair is required to be pulled back into a neat bun for all classes. Short hair must be securely pulled back and pinned neatly away from the face.

Jewelry: No bracelets or necklaces should be worn in classes. Appropriate jewelry includes small earrings only.

Shoes: For young students, please make sure the drawstrings of their ballet shoes are cut short and tucked in so they do not come untied during class.

Street clothes: Students should always come in and leave the studio wearing street clothes or warmups over leotards and tights.
