Please Note:  Ballet attire requirements will be changing in Fall 2009. We are considering going to a color coded requirement.  Each level of ballet would be assigned a specific leotard; pre-school and beginning levels may have a matching skirt.  More details will follow in Spring 2009.

Cold Weather:  students are asked to use warm clothing appropriate for dancing.  Large sweatshirts, sweatpants, sweaters are not permitted.   A fitted or dance sweater or sweatshirt may be allowed at the discretion of the instructor for warm-up time only.  Students are encouraged to use leg warmers in cool weather as well.  Not only will this help keep the dancers warm but it will keep their legs warm between movement time.

Attention

Skin in the midriff area is not allowed to be shown during classes.  We ask that dancers dress appropriately at all times for dance.  We feel that this dress code students to be better dancers.
