Dress Code

---

The dance dress code is essential for maintaining focus, safety, and professionalism in the studio. Proper ballet attire minimizes distractions, fosters a sense of uniformity and studio etiquette, and allows teachers to observe alignment clearly, enabling effective corrections. Most importantly, adhering to this dance studio clothing policy helps ensure the safety of dancers during training. Our official studio color is periwinkle, and we encourage students to wear it proudly whenever possible! 

*Please note: Sweatpants, flared yoga pants, street shoes, and casual clothing of any kind are not permitted in the studio. All ballet and pointe dancers must have their hair pulled back in a neat ballet bun before each class. In all other classes, hair should also be styled in a neat bun, braid, or similar up-do. Dancers with very short hair should pin their hair away from the face or slick it back as best as they can. Additionally, large or dangly jewelry should be removed prior to every dance class.

Leotard (any color) and convertible or stirrup tights that closely match the dancer's skin tone are essential components of ballet attire. Ballet skirts or dresses, leg warmers, and other dance accessories are also welcome additions to the dance studio clothing. Required footwear includes one pair of ballet slippers that should closely match the dancer's skin tone, as well as one pair of black tap shoes. Boys may choose to wear a black leotard or a plain white fitted T-shirt or tank top, paired with black leggings or jazz pants, in accordance with the dance dress code.
