Dress Code

All dancers at Philadelphia Studio Ballet are to wear the assigned dress code 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 So Danca leotards in level specific color (see below). Leotards can be purchased through PSB.
  • If dancers have not yet purchased a studio leotard, plain black leotards are required.
  • 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.
Pre-Ballet 1,2,3 - Pink leotard*, footed pink tights, pink split-sole ballet slippers (if your child’s shoe size is not available, full sole ballet slippers are acceptable).
