Graded Ballet:
This September the Dance Factory is implementing new uniforms for the ballet program. Each level will now wear a different colour and style. For your convenience, Dance Factory leotards and skirts must be ordered through the school, as these specific colours and styles are not available in stores. As always, boys' attire should be discussed with the instructor. Please ensure that your dancer has his or her uniform for every class, as being properly dressed for class ensures optimal performance. The ballet uniform is designed to guarantee the dancer's comfort, safety and concentration. Ill-fitting or missing parts of the uniform cause distractions and prevent a dancer from working to the best of his or her ability. The new uniforms will allow our dancers to look beautiful, feel comfortable and enable them to acheive their technical and artistic goals this year.
