*Hair must be in a well-secured and neat bun for Ballet 1+, Jazz 1+, and all Lyrical classes. Students with short hair should leave it down but utilize bobby pins/hair products to keep bangs out of face. Doing a half up/half down hairstyle is another option if the student’s hair is long enough for that hair style but not long enough for a bun. Acro, Contemporary, Tinies, Hip Hop, Tap students do not need buns; ponytails or securing the hair out of the face works well.
Stud earrings are the only permitted jewelry.
