Here are some guidelines to help your dancer get the most out of their Pre-School/Primary Class.
 
Teachers will bring students into class.  
If you are late to class, please check in at the office and a staff member will bring your dancer in.
 
Be prepared for class:

• Dancers must be potty trained.
• Dancers need the required dance attire: 
• Girls:  short sleeve light blue leotard, pink convertible tights, pink ballet shoes, black tap shoes
• Boys:  white tshirt, black pants, black ballet shoes, black tap shoes.  
• No tutus or skirts please. 
• Recommended Retailers are Competitor’s Closet and LaBrie Dance. 
• Put your dancer's name in their shoes AND on their Dance Bag.
• Pull your dancer's hair away from their face and off their neck. 
• Buns, ponytails or braids are encouraged.
• Bring your dancer to the bathroom before class.
• Arrive to the studio at least 5 minutes before class starts so that your dancer can get acclimated and put shoes on.
• Put your dancer’s ballet shoes on before they enter class.

Not allowed in class:

• Parents (To encourage independence, parents should not enter the studio, that means the little dancer should enter class on their own!)
• Snacks or Drinks (Class time goes by very quickly!)
• Sweatshirts, leg warmers or any additional clothing (We keep the temperature appropriate to the season.)
• Ballet skirt or tutus (While we love a fun tutu and graceful ballet skirt, these items can be extremely distracting to our little dancers.  Skirts attached to leotards are also not allowed.)
• Toys or dolls
• Gum
• Extra jewelry
