Dress Code

At North Reading School of Ballet, we adhere to the following dress code. Proper dress code allows for dancers to move properly and for teachers to see students alignment and posture, minimizes distractions and creates a uniform look in the class. By “dressing the part” dancers feel like part of the group. Our goal is to encourage the team spirit and the focus and respect that learning the art of dance requires.

All hair must be pulled away from face. Ballet buns are required for ALL ballet classes.
No jewelry. Stud earrings are acceptable.
No apple watches or smart watches
No gum, food and drinks in the studio. Water only
