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 can be substituted for tights or leggings, but loose clothing does not provide the best visibility for instructors to assess proper body alignment.  Please review the suggestions below:

Ballet and Ballet F.I.T. ladies wear a leotard with tights or leggings and ballet slippers.  Hair must be kept off the face and neck.  Long hair should neat and well-secured.  Gentlemen wear a tight-fitting t-shirt, tights or leggings with dance belt, socks, and ballet shoes.

Tap students may wear a leotard or a t-shirt, jazz pants, and tap shoes with socks.
