Dance Attire
To dance is to use the whole body therefore it is necessary for a teacher to be able to clearly see a student’s entire body. Proper grooming should always be prided on. Hair should always be tide back from the face and secured (If you have short hair wear a hair band or hair clips to pin it back off your face). For Ballet it is mandatory to have a securely fastened classical bun. Absolutely no exceptions!
Tights instead of dance pants allow teachers to study the back of your knees to ensure the proper stretch.
