What to wear for the ballet class?
For ballet class, we recommend wearing appropriate attire for exercising. It's best to opt for form-fitting dancewear such as leotards, tights, and ballet shoes. Additionally, please ensure that your hair is neatly secured away from your face, and keep jewelry to a minimum to prevent any accidents or distractions during class. Avoiding loose or baggy clothing is important as it may restrict movement and hinder your ability to perform ballet techniques effectively.
If you're an absolute beginner and don't have ballet-specific attire yet, you can wear exercise outfits that you normally wear, along with socks.
What to bring on the day of attendance?
On the day of attendance, please remember to bring your ballet shoes, water bottle (Hydrating is very important!), towel, and any necessary personal items.
