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 leotards in level specific color (see below)
- Leotard color of your choice week is the last week of each quarter. Students may wear whatever color leotard they like. Colorful leotards should be purchased directly through PSB.
- 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.
