A: Any class with Ballet will need pink tights. All other classes will need skin colored tights.
A: If your child will miss class, please inform the front desk so that they can relay the message to the teacher(s). You are always more than welcome to make up that class by taking another class that week!
A: Yes. We have a dress code. The simple leotard and tights make it possible for the instructors to see the dancers' bodies so they can make the proper corrections. Baggy clothing inhibits the instructor’s ability to make corrections. We ask that the dancers do not wear ballet skirts, baggy shirts or jewelry during classes.
**For ballet, black leotard, pink tights, pink ballet slippers (black ballet tights, white shirt, black ballet shoes for boys). Hair in a bun and no extra clothing (skirts, etc.)
**For jazz, black leotard, black jazz pants, leggings or shorts, tan tights, tan jazz shoes
**For hip hop, leotard and tights recommended, with leggings, shorts, sweat pants, tank tops and shirts pulled over are okay.
**For contemporary/Modern, black leotard, tan tights, bare feet, black shorts or leggings are acceptable as well.
A: Hair must be worn up and off the face for all classes, no exceptions. Hair must be in a bun for ALL ballet classes.
A: Yes! Try any one class for free to ensure the right fit for your dancer!
