Pre-Dance dancers are encouraged to wear dance class clothing such as a leotard with tights or ankle socks.

With tights or socks, ballet or jazz slippers are required (but either are ok!)

Without, bare feet are perfect.

Most importantly, dancers need comfortable clothing to move in easily without overheating, such as leggings or shorts, and fitted t-shirts.

Children & Youth:

1) Tights in pink or a colour that reflects the dancers’ natural skin tones, or tight black shorts. 

2) Leotard without attached skirt (no rhinestones or other decorations that may catch on fabric, please)

3) Canvas ballet slippers

Optional: a short ballet skirt (wrap or pull-on) and/or thin white ankle socks instead of tights.

Adults:

The above uniform is encouraged but not required. On your feet ballet slippers, bare feet, or socks are acceptable.

Children & Youth:

1) Leotard or form fitting shirt.

2) Black leggings or footless tights

Optional: knee pads for floor work and/or warm-up joggers or tops - these will be asked to remove after warm-up.

Comfortable clothes to move in and bare feet or socks.

All dancers should have hair pulled back and out of their face and eyes. This is important for safety and for correct technique. Hair whipping in your eyes during turns is no fun!
