Other Details
Parental Guidance
To ensure safety, children should be supervised by a parent or guardian during dance class, and please make find a slip-proof area to dance. If dance shoes are not worn, bare feet are preferable over socks. Dancers should have something to hold onto for a "barre." This should be lower than shoulder height, and can be a chair, counter top, etc.
Supply List
Preferred materials: Ballet Shoes, but children may participate with bare feet or slip-proof socks to accommodate for "less-than-ideal" flooring at home. Please wear a leotard and tights or other athletic attire, with hair pulled back from the face. Dancers should have a ballet "barre," which could be a chair, counter, or other stable object to assist with balance. POINTE SHOES ARE NOT PERMITTED AT THIS LEVEL.
