What to Wear

Hello Dancers,

Just wanted to expand on what the guidelines are for class attire. For the Classical Ballet classes I am following the standard guidelines for practice attire that you are familar with. The following classes will follow the classical guidelines: Tiny Tots, Ballet Technique, Classical Ballet I, and Classical Ballet II.

Classical Attire Guidelines:
- hair in tight bun
- tights (pink)
- leotard (black)
- pointe shoes (pink/european pink)
- ballet shoes (pink/european pink canvas or leather)
- dance sweaters (pink or black)
- leggings for warm-up (your choice)
- no danging earrings, or jewelry that will distract or get in the way

For Stretch/Ballet toning, and Modern Ballet Fusion:
- wear clothes that are tight fitting and will not inhibit your movement
- colors and self-expression are welcomed
- for feet: ballet shoes, jazz shoes, modern thong sandles, or dance sneakers
(wear something on your feet that is not slippery and will allow you to work)

Adult Lyrical:
- wear something comfortable (example: yoga/stretch pants and t-shirt/muscle shirt)
- or - flowing skirt to emphasize lyrical movements are a plus
- ballet slippers (canvas or leather) or modern thong sandles

Any questions, leave a comment here on the blog so we can all have it answered or email me at: alysiahillyard@gmail.com

We will possibly be planning a Pointe Shoe fitting trip if there are dancers that need new shoes.
