These run about a size to a size and a half small so order bigger than regular shoe size. 

Tap Shoes: Tap shoes should be black and similar to these for both child and adults. 

All Competition Cheer Team members are required to have this shoe:

Ballet Classes:

Ballet students will be required to wear a leotard and ballet shoes that fit to ballet class each week. The leotard can be any color and style. Pink tights are recommended but not required. NO STRETCH PANTS AND T-SHIRTS anymore in ballet classes. Ballet Skirts, booty shorts, or tightly fitted biker shorts will be optional as well. During the cold months dancers may warm up with jackets and warm leggings for the 1st 10 minutes of class. Many of our dancers have leotards but have not been wearing them to classes. If your dancer does not come dressed appropriately expect a text or phone call request to bring dance clothing. You don't need to spend a fortune on leotards. Some of the best websites to check out for best prices are: Discount Dance and Dancewear Solutions, both companies always have multiple leotards in their "discount"  "closeout" and "sale" sections. The Dance Magic Store in St George always has a discount rack(you will pay more here then online) and there is always Amazon.

  Hair should be pulled back in a BUN, BUNS, FRENCH TWIST, OR FRENCH BRAIDS. Any bun will do(low, high, 2 buns, messy buns, classic buns, just so hair is secured back)Long ponytails just become a big distraction during turning sections of class so, NO PONYTAILS. If your students hair is shorter than shoulder length they may have a tight ponytail. Please do not send students to class with hair down and a hair elastic on their wrist to pull it back themselves. They just end up playing with their hair all through class and it is often a fight to get them to pull their hair back.

Ballet Dress Code

 This past year we have really struggled with dancers coming to ballet in regular that with hair down. In an effort to improve our ballet program and give your dancers the best training possible, the Ballet Dress Code is being updated.

 Ballet dress code will go into effect the 1st week of summer session and remain in place.  There are multiple reasons a dancer needs to come dressed appropriately for ballet classes. We as instructors cannot help them with alignment and technique when they are not dressed properly. I promise that your dancer dances better and behaves better in class when they are dressed to dance. There are actual studies that prove this. We don't just want your dancer to succeed with us here at the Point, but to prepare them for any future dance opportunities they may seek. Ballet students will be required to wear a leotard and ballet shoes that fit to ballet class each week. The leotard can be any color and style. Pink tights are recommended but not required. NO STRETCH PANTS AND T-SHIRTS anymore in ballet classes. Ballet Skirts, booty shorts, or tightly fitted biker shorts will be optional as well. During the cold months dancers may warm up with jackets and warm leggings for the 1st 10 minutes of class. Many of our dancers have leotards but have not been wearing them to classes. If your dancer does not come dressed appropriately expect a text or phone call request to bring dance clothing. You don't need to spend a fortune on leotards. Some of the best websites to check out for best prices are: Discount Dance and Dancewear Solutions, both companies always have multiple leotards in their "discount"  "closeout" and "sale" sections. The Dance Magic Store in St George always has a discount rack(you will pay more here then online) and there is always Amazon.

  Hair should be pulled back in a BUN, BUNS, FRENCH TWIST, OR FRENCH BRAIDS.

 PS I totally understand what it is like to be a dance Mom and I've had my epic fails in this arena. I have found it helpful to just have a dance bag for my little dancers that I re-stock with fresh dance clothes, dance shoes, and hair elastics, snacks etc at the beginning of each week and we hang these by our side door.
