The best place to buy dancewear is at a dancewear store; however , for the convenience of our students, Saul’s on the square in Gainesville (770-532-4301) carries a selection of basic dance attire and shoes.  Many area dance apparel stores offer discounts when you mention the Gainesville School of Ballet/Gainesville Ballet Company.

 

HAIR

In keeping with the traditions of classical ballet, girls must wear their hair fastened securely in a bun on the back of the head for all ballet classes. There are practical, as well as aesthetic reasons for this. Body alignment is critical in ballet, and the instructor must be able to see the line of a student’s body from the head down. Hair not up and off the neck can prevent this. If you are unsure how to put hair up in a bun, we will be happy to show you some of the tricks!  For tap and jazz classes, hair must be drawn away from the face (ponytail). Boys’ hair should be neatly combed.

 

SHOES

Dance shoes should be worn only in the studios. This gives the shoes a much longer life and preserves the studio floors. If your child is buying new ballet shoes for class, we ask that they not wear them until the teacher has had an opportunity to look at them to be sure they fit.  Laces and/or ribbons must be tucked into the shoes.
