Any non-pull over sweaters must be zipped up. Acro and Stretch & Conditioning classes are the only classes students are allowed to be barefoot. Intermediate and advanced girls, no inapprpriate "booty" shorts or revealing bra tops. All ballet classes must wear footed tights. Convertible tights are acceptable for students with multiple classes back to back and would like to take their feet out of their tights for an easy quick change. "Ballet Pink" is often the color used on dance websites for pink or light pink. No theatrical pink or hot pink for ballet allowed. No baggy clothing.
"No changing in between classes. If dancers are going from ballet classes straight to another genre the next hour (or vice versa), they must stay in their ballet leotard and tights. They will take their feet out of the convertible tights and change shoes if necessary. Hair stays in a bun for all other classes.
