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
