Dress Code
All dancers at Philadelphia Studio Ballet are required to wear the assigned leotard for their class/level. A clean, neat appearance is important for proper dance instruction. We appreciate your understanding!
- The dress code for each level is mandatory and consists of designated leotards in level specific color (see below) with PSB logo. Leotards must be purchased through PSB (order your leotard here!)
- Warm-up dance sweaters or shrugs and leg warmers are acceptable at teacher's discretion.
- Colored dance skirts are acceptable at teacher's discretion.
- Proper hair etiquette is essential for all dancers:
- Ballet students are expected to wear their hair in a neat, ballet bun. If hair is not long enough for a bun, it must be kept off the face with clips or a headband.
- Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern, Lyrical, and Tap students must wear hair in a bun or ponytail. If hair is not long enough for either of these styles, it must be kept off the face with clips or a headband.
