should be in good condition and fit properly. Hair should be pulled back in a secure ballet bun at the
crown of the head before class starts using bobby pins and a hair net. No low and/or “messy” buns or
stray pieces of hair in the face, no exceptions. It is a good idea to have extra bobby pins, hair nets, and
hairspray/gel in your dance bag at all times! Also, if you have back-to-back classes, ballet hair takes
precedence and there is no time in between classes to put it up - come prepared! Boys are permitted to
wear black pants and white shirts. Black ballet slippers (with strings tied and tucked in) are required.
