Dress Code
Discipline begins with what we wear to class.
Stand Out by Hard Work, Not Attire
The dress code is an important part of the discipline instilled in a young dancer. Dancers should stand out in class by virtue of their hard work, not by their attire. Dancers in Levels I through V may not wear skirts, baggy T-shirts, or shorts. All leg and body warmers must be tight fitting.
All Ballet classes require footed pink tights for the ladies and black tights for the gentlemen. Skirts are not permitted except for Variations or Pointe Class.
