what to wear for your class

Each of our classes have a suggested type of dress for the style of dance, but we encourage you to wear what makes you feel most comfortable:

1. Ballet

i. Ladies - This year we are excited to have Ballet uniforms! Amy Hamilton has already chosen the style and colour for each class and students will be sized the first week of classes! The fee for these leotards will be taken from the costume fees that you have already paid, so no additional fees will be charged. While we wait for these leotards to arrive, wear any fitted dance attire to your first class(es). Please wear pink ballet tights and pink canvas ballet slippers.
