Dress code for beginning ballet classes

Dancers at West Point Ballet Academy should dress in classical ballet attire. For female dancers, this includes a black leotard, pink tights, and pink ballet shoes. Please no skirts, tutu dresses, or warm-ups. For male dancers, this includes plain black shorts (like basketball shorts), a plain white compression shirt, black ballet shoes with black socks. Undergarments should not be seen. Girl's hair should be slicked back in a ballet bun, with no hair hanging in the face.

Female dancers
-Leotard

Leotards should be black and should not have an attached skirt. You can choose a style that your dancer would prefer: tank top, spaghetti strap, cap sleeve or long sleeve. 

-Tights

Tights should be pink. We recommend selecting a shade of pink that matches one's ballet shoes. Tights should be footed. Convertible tights are preferred. Tights with a seam down the back are preferred.

-Ballet shoes

Ballet shoes should be pink and ideally will match the shade of pink of one's tights. We recommend canvas ballet shoes with pre-sewn elastics (instead of leather) and we prefer shoes without drawstrings. 

Dancers who are not on pointe should not wear pointe shoes until they have passed their pointe shoe test AND have been given approval by the studio owner. Dancers are not permitted to purchase pointe shoes without the studio owner's approval, even if it's just to play dress up at home. Dancers can seriously injure themselves if they have not learned the correct technique or possess the needed strength. Dancers who aren't on pointe should wear ballet slippers. You can find our full dress code on our website.

Male dancers
-Shirt

Male dancers should wear a plain white compression-style shirt. 

-Shorts

Shorts should be like soccer or basketball shorts and plain black. Male dancers are encouraged to wear black compression ballet tights if they wish. 

-Ballet shoes

Ballet shoes should be black. We recommend canvas ballet shoes with pre-sewn elastics (instead of leather) and we prefer shoes without drawstrings. Socks can be worn if desired and should be plain white or black.
