Allegro Ballet Academy Dress Code

Dress Code Guidelines

Students should arrive to class in proper dress code attire.

Hair must be neatly secured in a ballet bun for all ballet classes.

Shorts, pants, and warm-up attire may be worn during certain class offerings, such as jazz or lyrical/contemporary, upon teacher approval.

Proper dance attire should be understood and valued as it helps ABA faculty safely and effectively observe technique and alignment

Pointe Shoe Policy (if applicable)

Dancers on pointe may choose between traditional satin ribbons or elastic ribbons based on comfort and support.

Ribbons must be securely fastened to pointe shoes at all times for a polished, clean look and professional appearance.
