Frequently asked questions
Is there a uniform?
Yes, for all pre-ballet and ballet classes! We ask the girls wear a black leotard with pink tights and ballet slippers. Hair must be secured off the face and in a bun (if hair is long even). Boys are asked to wear gym shorts and a white shirt and ballet slippers.
Can I stay at the studio?
Due to limited seating arrangement we ask all parents to drop off children in the lobby. The teacher will greet them and walk them to the studio. We ask parents arrive 10 minutes prior to the end of class.
Am I able to watch class?
We will invite all participants to invite guests on designated class observation days. In order to allow the best class focus we ask that parents stay in the lobby. The teacher will walk them to the lobby for pick up.
