Ballet& Pointe:<\/span> ALL TEAM levels (Kinder Mini Ballet Team, Ballet 1 Team, Ballet 2 Ruby\/Sapphire, Ballet 3 Ruby\/Sapphire\/Emerald, Ballet 4, & Select ballet)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Girls: pink tights, pink ballet shoes, black leotard, (tight black shorts or a black ballet skirt can be worn over the leotard) and hair in a bun. The bun can be messy as we know there may be some quick changes from class to class.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boys: black T-shirt, black shorts, and black ballet shoes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choreography classes: (ALL diamond dancers classes, Lyrical 1 Team, Junior Ruby & Junior Sapphire Jazz\/Lyrical\/Contemporary classes, Contemporary 3 Ruby\/Sapphire\/Emerald, Jazz\/Lyrical 3 Ruby\/Sapphire\/Emerald, Contemporary 4 Elite & Select, Jazz\/Lyrical 4 Elite & Select, and Tap 4)<\/span><\/p>\n

All dancers must wear ALL black! This way the team looks uniform during choreography and cleaning so the choreographer is able to better envision the piece. This does NOT include hip hop choreography classes as any color can still be worn in these classes. This also does NOT include rehearsals for extra pieces, color can still be worn in those practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

We understand there may be some quick changes in between classes so please be prepared and efficient when changing to avoid being late to your next class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The dress code will remain the same for the rest of the classes.<\/span><\/p>\n




<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing to wear to class everyday is a smile!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dress Code is for the safety of the dancer and other dancers in class as well as to not distract dancers from class. Please see Miss Becky for any questions and\/or issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
