Other Notes on Class Dress Code

Hair

    Medium to long hair must be secured neatly off the face, in a bun, for all classes. A proper bun (secured with an elastic, bobby pins and hair net) is required for all students with medium to long hair. An instruction sheet on this hair style can be obtained from your child’s teacher.

    Short hair is to be secured away from the face with a circular comb, and/or elastic. Hair that is down, inhibits the dancer's ability to perform the required work done in class.

Ballet & Jazz Shoe Fittings

    It is very important that students are fitted correctly for their dance shoes. Shoes are to fit snug to the child’s foot, no more than 1/8 inch room at the toe, or none at all (is better). The shoe is a good fit if it does not gap around opening and the toes are laying flat in the shoe. You should not be able to pinch any material at the top or sides of the shoe. Ballet slippers and Jazz shoes are made of soft leather and will stretch. DO NOT buy ballet slippers or jazz shoes with room to grow. A shoe that is too big will not give your child proper support and will create blisters.

    Please do not wear shoes or secure the elastic to the shoes until after your first class. Your child’s teacher will be checking students shoes, for proper fit, in their first class.

Tap Shoe Fittings

    It is very important that students are fitted correctly for their tap shoes. To ensure a proper fit shoes should not gap around the opening, and the toes are laying flat in the shoe. No more than a thumb’s width room at the toe, less is better. You should not be able to pinch any material at the top or sides of the shoe. The child’s heel should not lift when they walk. A shoe that is too big will not give your child proper support and will create blisters.

    You must have rubber attached to the soles of the tap shoes. Please ensure this is done before your first class. This can be done at the Barrhaven Shoe Repair (located on Greenbank Road). Please have one of our instructors check the fit of the tap shoes before your child’s first class, so the taps and rubber can be attached ready for the first lesson.
