Legwarmers may be worn in cold weather for bar work only. All sweaters must be removed as soon into the bar work as possible.
• Split sole ballet shoes are required in either leather or canvas. Canvas is preferred.
• Hair must be up off the neck, and must be secured in a way that will not hit the student in the face while performing turns. Hair must be secured well enough so the student is not messing with it during class.

• Students will be expected to stretch at home on non dance days. Stretching once or twice a week is not enough to gain the flexibility needed.
