As a Classical Ballet school, the Bountiful School of Ballet adheres to a strict dress code that is vigorously enforced. A strict dress code teaches unity and discipline and enables our faculty to see the dancer, not the outfit.
Ballet:
Foundations Level (1x/week)
Leotard: Black any style, no skirt
Tights: Body Wrappers C80 or C39 (ballet pink). **Please no “More than Magic” dance tights from Target – this is a low quality, shimmer tight that is more inexpensive but not durable like the accepted brands.
Shoes: Full Leather Shoes – Full or Split Sole (So Danca, Bloch, or Capezio Brand.) **Please no “Danskin Freestyle” purchased from Target – this is a low quality, incorrectly made ballet slipper and only about $3 less than the accepted brands.

For female dancers, no underwear are to be worn under ballet tights. All female dancers’ hair must be pulled securely away from the face for all levels and types of dance. All Basic Ballet and more advanced are required to wear a bun tightly secured with bobbi pins. Please no elastic held buns – classical ballet buns only. Here’s an excellent tutorial on how to make a proper bun.
**If female student wishes to wear a bra under leotard, they must wear a leotard that completely covers the lingerie bra or wear a dance camisole style (no racer back), black or nude bra under. Absolutely no straps from lingerie bras should be visible. During their cycle, if students feel more comfortable, they are welcome to wear a black, tight fitting “hot short”.
