BALLET

Ballet technique is the strong foundation for all other forms of dance. Due to time constraints, only the ballet basics are taught in the Company Classes for ages 8 and up, so we highly recommend supplementing with a Ballet class. These extra Ballet classes will spend a significant time on proper alignment of the body, carriage of the arms, turnout of the legs and gracefulness. Dancers will learn ballet skills with increasing difficulty. Ballet classes run September-May and are available for girls 5-18. Registration closes in October for the season. Dancers in the Ballet classes will learn choreography to perform in the May Showcase.

DRESS CODE

Dress Code for Company dancers is the same for in their Company classes. Dancers, not in a Company class, do not need the “official” uniform, but should match it as closely as possible. If you would like to purchase official pieces, visit the Company Classes Dress Code page.

  1. Black short-sleeved leotard
  2. Black capris
  3. Black skirt to cover the bum
  4. Pink ballet slippers (not half soles or jazz shoes)
  5. Hair is to be secured in a bun
