Required Hair for Ballet Class

A polished, and pinned bun is required for ballet. Hair of all lengths must be pulled back and pinned down to the head.  No loose ponytails, braids, or side-pieces.  The length of your dancer's hair will determine the best style for your dancer.  Neatly secured and simple hair-pieces or decorations are acceptable. If unsure how to create a ballet bun, please ask our dance staff. We are happy to help since a proper bun for ballet is a high priority.
