FAQs

What should I wear to a ballet class?

Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move easily in. Class will be taken in barefoot or in soft ballet shoes – no soft blocks, socks or pointe shoes are permitted. We recommend that those with long hair secure it away from your face.

No jewellery should be worn in any class: please remove it before entering the studio.

No street shoes are to be worn in the studio either.

Am I able to attend with someone?

Partners and carers are more than welcome to join the classes with you, should you require any 1-1 assistance or support. We ask all guests in the classes to join in practically.
