DRESS REQUIREMENT

(For the academic level)

GIRLS: Plain black leotard (NO Velvet or Rhinestones), pink tights, pink leather ballet slippers.  Pink Pointe shoes are required for the Pointe class when a student is ready to begin that work. No skirts are permitted. No jewelry or watches. (Small, non-dangling earrings are permitted) Hair should be pulled back neatly from the face and secured.  At the Beginning-Intermediate level on up, ballet buns must be worn.

TEEN-ADULT STUDENTS:There is no dress code for these students. Please dress comfortably in dance or exercise attire. There is no color code. Depending on your class, you will need ballet slippers or jazz shoes with leather sole. For your own comfort, please leave jewelry at home, for we cannot be responsible for jewelry left behind, or lost items.

MAKE-UP POLICY

As a student of The Ballet School, you have the opportunity to make-up a class which you have missed during a 3 month period. Also, please note, you can make-up a class before you miss it, if you know in advance that you will not be able to attend your regular class. In order to get a make-up card, your tuition needs to be current. We cannot give make-up cards to students who are behind in tuition payment. It is also important to note, that a make-up card will only be accepted by the instructor if there is space in the class. A make-up card will not be accepted into a class that has a full attendance.  You must be enrolled in the school to use a make-up card.  The make-up card is non-transferable to another student.

DATES TO REMEMBER

Please note the following dates on your calendar. The Ballet School is open year round, but does close for the holidays listed below. When a holiday or holiday break falls within a monthly tuition period, students still pay full tuition for that month, but make-up cards can be obtained in the office to be used either before or after the holiday takes place. Usually make-ups need to be used within the month that the class or classes are missed, but if it is a holiday make-up we can extend the make-up time so that you can be sure to make up your missed holiday classes before the end of the regular billing year.
