Connecticut Concert Ballet Dress Code

Connecticut Concert Ballet has a strict dress code for all students that enables the teacher to best see and evaluate each student.  Teachers must be able to see the ankles, knees, hips, ribcage, neck, face, shoulders and elbows clearly.  Leotards and tights should be worn without underwear underneath.  Jewelry, leg warmers, and other items are a distraction to both student and teacher and are not permitted in any class.

For all girls:  Hair must be secured in a bun with bobby pins and a hair net.  Please come to your class with your hair correctly done.  Our teachers do not have time to fix everyone’s hair.    

 

Ballet

In all ballet classes, Connecticut Concert Ballet students must wear the official uniform of the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum.  The ABT Official Uniform is a pre-professional line of dancewear for young male and female students in ABT’s training programs featuring a classic yet vibrant look in an exciting range of colors.

WHERE TO PURCHASE DANCEWEAR:

We recommend that you purchase your dancewear at Dance Village in Manchester. Their staff is aware of our dress code requirements and preferences and can assist you in all your dancewear needs. The phone number for Dance Village is 645-6606.




SOME OTHER HELPFUL TIPS:

  1. After you purchase new ballet shoes, put them on and tie a single knot in the drawstring so that shoe fits comfortably around top of foot. Take off the shoe and tie a second and even third knot, cut the extra drawstrings off and tuck the ends inside the shoe. Do not tie the strings in a bow.
  2. CCB has a used shoe box located in the Costume Room. Feel free to drop off used shoes or find needed shoes at any time.
  3. Line drying dance clothes rather than using the clothes dryer will help them retain their elasticity and they will fit and last longer.
  4. Use a permanent marker to mark ALL dance clothing and shoes clearly with your dancers name.
