Attire

Appropriate dancewear and shoes are available for purchase from Elevations through Revolution Dancewear. You will find that these products are less expensive and more convenient than most retailers.

Ballet students are expected to wear a leotard of their designated level color and pink or black tights. (You will find a listing of the designated colors in Elevations’ handbook, and you will be given a list of necessary items upon registration.) A ballet skirt is optional for ballet class, but no shorts or pants are allowed. Jazz pants may be worn in jazz, tap, or modern classes. For clogging, hip-hop, cheernastics, or baton classes, comfortable shirts or leotards and shorts or knit pants are appropriate. Please no school clothes such as blue jeans or skirts. Hair should be pulled back for all classes.

Elevations carries a variety of adorable ballet dresses, shoes, tights, dance bags, and more!
