Suggestions for Class Attire:
Proper footwear is required, however the clothing guidelines below are merely suggestions. The primary goals of these guidelines are to provide dancers with maximum comfort and ease of movement while providing instructors with a clear view of body alignment. For ladies, an exercise top or sports bra with a tight-fitting t-shirt can be substituted for a leotard, however attire designed for dance provides the best comfort and fit, allowing for greater freedom of movement. For gentlemen, athletic shorts or pants with appropriate undergarments can be substituted for tights or leggings, but loose clothing does not provide the best visibility for instructors to assess proper body alignment.
Suggested styles are reasonably priced and can be purchased at various local retailers, including Kinney Dancewear, and online at Discount Dance Supply. A percentage of all orders placed through Discount Dance Supply will benefit the Louisville Ballet School by using the Teacher Referral Program code “TP27451.” Please visit our Dress Code Pages on Discount Dance Supply’s website for images and examples of appropriate dance wear.
