Coverups will also help keep their tights and dance wear clean and hole free. Being outside in a leotard and tights, especially after a class when your body is warm can lead to illness or cause injury to muscles. All students are responsible to present themselves in a professional manner at all times, including to and from class.

Girls: Black leotard, Footed pink or flesh toned tights with coordinated Pink or flesh tone ballet shoes, Hair secured neatly off face.

Boys: White T-shirt, black tights, and black ballet shoes

Ballet Shoes are not to be worn outside of the dance studio. Dirt and rocks from outside are damaging to the special flooring required for dance.
