Parents typically ask "What Should My Dancer Wear to Rehearsals and Performances?"

  • Every dancer who will be appearing in any ballet pieces will need Ballet Pink tights with feet. (Ballet Pink is a very light pink, almost white and is available at Hirsh's on Broadway and many other locations.

  • Bright pink tights are NOT acceptable.

  • Also, ankles must be covered; cut-off tights are NOT acceptable.

  • Ballet slippers MUST be ballet pink also. No black ballet slippers for the performances or rehearsals.)
    Parents of boys, please speak to me directly; you may purchase white slippers, if your have not already done so. (Ballet Pink would also be fine if it is fine with your boy:)

  • You will also need hair accessories to fashion a ballet bun.
  • Elastics, clips such as those sold by "Scrunci Brand" at CVS or Walgreen's. Small and medium clips work the best; they should blend with your hair color. Bobby pins and hairpins are also fine, although I find that the plastic clips hold the hair the most effectively. Feel free to email me your questions:)

  • Dancers believe in being prepared; therefore, have extra of everything.
  • You will use your purchases eventually, no matter what, and will probably be delighted to be so well prepared in case of a back stage surprise. Extra tights, extra leotards, extra hair accessories, extra shoes. It is a very good thing to be prepared for any eventuality. Believe me. Unexpected things do happen. That is Life in The Theatre.

  • Remember, you can always email me with any concerns or questions. I like to know what you are thinking. Please feel free to ask anything. There are no silly questions when it comes to Rehearsals and Performances. I enjoy talking to you and helping you. That's what I'm here for. :) :)
