Hair and Attire

In order to be a dancer, it helps to feel like a dancer!  Proper attire, shoes, and hair is a must for good training, so the dancer has freedom of movement and the teacher can see the dancers‘ positions and movement in order to give necessary corrections.  

Hair is to be pulled up off the neck in a ponytail, braid, or bun. If hair is too short, it must be pulled back on the sides with bobby pins or clips. If hair is longer than waist-length when up in a ponytail or braid, it must be put all the way up into a bun.
