Ballet Studio E requires that students wear a specific brand, style
and color of leotard to each class. Please read the following
information carefully, as students not following dress code will not be
allowed to participate!! If you have questions or concerns please
contact the studio as soon as possible.
Why is it important to
wear uniforms?
Self-discipline
and respect are a part of dance training, and how students dress
is important as it sets the tone for a good dance class.
It also shows respect for the art that they are learning,
respect for themselves and respect for their teacher. A specific
uniform can also help children to learn faster, as the
instructor can make better corrections when all students are
dressed alike, as their attention is drawn to a student's
technique, not a student's hair or leotard choice.
There are specific reasons why
certain elements of attire are required: tights enable the
musculature of the legs to be clearly visible, the leotard
allows the instructor to easily check the carriage of the torso
and alignment of the hips and spine. Hair pulled back off
of the face and neck allows the teacher to clearly see the
alignment of the neck and carriage of the head. Proper dance
shoes allow greater safety and stability for the student.

General Attire Notes:
No jewelry (aside from stud
earrings) is allowed. Jewelry is a distraction and a safety
issue.
Pre-Ballet students must hair their
hair pulled off of the face and neck either in a bun, or two
pinned up braids.
Ballet students hair must be in a
very secure bun.
All other students should have
their hair pulled back and secured (no headbands, they tend to
fall off)
Purchase more than one pair of
tights. While holes can be sewn, it is often faster to have a
new pair on hand. Dance tights are specially made and are
somewhere between nylons and knitted dress tights in durability.
No skirts are allowed from
Pre-Ballet levels and up. The same is true for leg warmers and
other body coverings.
The same leotard style/color and
tight color has already been selected for each class level. For
uniformity, please purchase only these styles and colors.
