Dress Code
Our dress code is designed to ensure each student’s comfort, safety, and uniformity so that their teacher can give proper guidance.
- HAIR: Long hair must be tied back in a ponytail for all classes and in a bun for classical ballet. Great news for students of KBDS, we always have hair elastics available in our office and in each studio if you forget yours!
- NO JEWELRY, COSTUMES or PLAY CLOTHES: Remember loose or dangling jewelry and costumes other than proper dance skirts are a safety hazard and distraction for dancers and are not allowed. Jeans, jean shorts, play clothes, or school clothes are not suitable dance attire
- TIGHTS are required in all classes, unless noted otherwise.
