Class Attire
Adult classes feature casual attire and a non-competitive environment. Students attending adult classes should wear attire appropriate to the class, either a leotard or leggings, but there are no fixed requirements for color. We recommend the Bloch 258 or 203 ballet slipper for adult ballet students, or one of the many styles of canvas technique shoes.
