CCB SCHOOL YEAR DRESS CODE:
During the school year Connecticut Concert Ballet has a professional dress code for all students that enables the teacher to best see and evaluate each student, creates a clean and uniform look for the class and helps to foster discipline in the student. Students must adhere to the dress code at all times (both in studio and on Zoom).
CCB UNIFORM SWAP SHOP:
Feel free to stop in the studio anytime during studio hours to drop off gently used uniform leotards that your children won’t be needing this year and/or pick up a leotard that your dancer needs for the current year.
CCB SUMMER DRESS CODE:
During the summer Connecticut Concert Ballet has a more relaxed dress code. Students have the choice of following the regular school year uniform dress code or they can wear any color leotard of their choice.

SOME OTHER HELPFUL TIPS:
-After you purchase new ballet shoes, put them on and tie a single knot in the drawstring so that the shoe fits comfortably around the top of the 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.
-CCB has a collection of used shoes. Feel free to drop off used shoes or find needed shoes at any time.
-Line drying dance clothes rather than using the clothes dryer will help them retain their elasticity and they will fit and last longer.
-Use a permanent marker to mark ALL dance clothing and shoes clearly with your dancer’s name
