PROPER ATTIRE
Proper attire is required to allow the most freedom of movement and gives the class a professional appearance. Wearing uniform colors is the tradition and part of the discipline of ballet.
We do have a selection of shoes and dancewear in stock, but other items can be ordered through the office staff. All special order items must be paid for in full prior to ordering. Some items cannot be returned or exchanged unless defective, so please ask before ordering. WE CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS OF ANY ITEMS PREVIOUSLY WORN.
The shoes required are dependent upon the form(s) of dance being studied (i.e., a 2nd grader does not need jazz shoes if he/she is studying ballet and tap).
