Uniform Overview – In General

 

The Berwyn Ballet School has a passion for the art of dance. TBBS employs and collaborates with selected ballet instructors to provide instruction in our vision, expression, and artistry of ballet to our students, to promote the art of dance in beautiful creativity. The art of ballet is pure expression created by the movement of the human body. Ballet expresses the complementary and contrasting beauty of the human male and female forms through the combined arts of music and dance. Uniforms are a key aspect to proper ballet etiquette and are integral to the creative message TBBS seeks to express and teach through the art of dance. Each student must come to each class ready to receive instruction and to dance in the attire corresponding to his or her skill level and category. 

 

 

• Creative Dance Girls: Any solid color leotard and skirt, plain white bobby socks, and european pink ballet shoes.

​

• Creative Dance Boys: Any color plain tshirt, black shorts, white socks and black ballet shoes.

​

• Stretch/Conditioning Classes: All students ages 8-18 enrolled in ballet classes must wear their ballet class uniform, unless warmup attire is granted by the instructor.

​

• Highland Classes: The Highland Class uniform consists of the standard uniform required by TBBS, with the addition of white knee socks - lightweight (no tube socks) must go to the bottom of the kneecap. Beginner students may wear ballet shoes. Serious dancers will need to buy Highland shoes at the instruction of the teacher. Note: All Highland Classes require hair up in either a bun or a ponytail. 

​

• Adult Classes: Adults may wear any dance or athletic wear of their choosing that is not inconsistent with the general uniform overview and requirements for their level and category. Clothing that is distracting or otherwise inappropriate in the sole discretion of TBBS may not be permitted. It is advised that clothing should allow your greatest range of motion.
