Dress code for M&M’s and AFT: Pink or black ballet shoes are required for all students (tennis shoes are too sticky on the wood floor, and socks are too slippery). Students may choose to wear athletic clothing (black bottoms with a plain, solid top) or ballet attire (tights with a solid color leotard and optional solid color class skirt). Please choose one of these outfit options and have your student wear the SAME outfit to class each week. Having a special outfit for class helps younger students prepare mentally for class. Keeping the outfits solid-colored and plain (no sequins, glitter, etc), helps all students stay focused in class and not distracted by their clothing. Students with longer hair should have it securely fastened in a ponytail or bun, to keep it out of their face while jumping, spinning, and rolling in class.
