Drop-off and pick-up:

Parents should bring their child into the Project Ballet lobby and wait for class to begin. Please plan to arrive about five minutes early to change into ballet shoes and take off your coat, etc. A minute or two before class is scheduled to start, our staff will take attendance and have the children line-up in the lobby to head into the classroom. Once the children have left with their teacher to begin class, parents are free to leave or you may wait in our lobby for the duration of the class. Please make sure to return promptly at the end of class. Your child's teacher will bring them back out to the lobby when class is over.

Dress Code:

Female dancers are required to wear pink ballet slippers, pink ballet tights and a leotard of their choice. Pink tights must have feet. Leotards may be any color and style, however leotards may NOT have attached skirts, shorts, or tutus. Just a plain bathing-suit style leotard, please. Simple rhinestones or bows, etc. are permitted, and any style sleeves are permitted. Ballet slippers can be purchased at Standing Ovation Performance Apparel, at stores such as WalMart or Target, or online. Long hair should be pulled back off the face in a ballet bun, pony tail, or similar style.

Male dancers are required to wear a plain white undershirt style short-sleeve or long-sleeve t-shirt, black basketball shorts, white socks, and black or white ballet slippers. Please select a t-shirt size that is not too baggy or oversized, so that the teacher can easily see your child's movements. Ballet slippers can be purchased at Standing Ovation Performance Apparel, at stores such as WalMart or Target, or online. Long hair should be pulled back off the face in a ballet bun, pony tail, or similar style.

Parent Observation:

The last 15 minutes of Thursdays class will be a mini performance, open for observation by parents and siblings. Observation attendees will be able to video record and take photographs during class. We ask that you please limit observation to no more than 2 total attendees per student because seating is limited.
