  3. Solid colored skirts may be worn in the center of the floor with the teacher’s permission.
  4. A stretch canvas split sole ballet shoes. Do not get a larger size for growing room as this constricts the line of the foot, shoes must be fitted.
  5. Small earrings may be worn. Absolutely NO: necklaces, bracelets, rings, fitbits, apple watches, regular watches or hair ties are to be worn on the wrist area at any time, as these items cause distractions.
  6. Warm up clothing may be worn during plies when temperatures are low.
