Dress Code & Dance Apparel Requirements

All Company students are to be professionally groomed, at all times. There is no dressing in the bathrooms. All Berkshire Ballet Theatre® and Starr Dancers® are required to wear the same attire for their classes, and be prepared to dance for every class. Each incident of failure to adhere to the dress code constitutes 1 missed class that must be made up. This includes lack of preparation for a change in the class schedule. Unless otherwise stated, the dress requirements apply to both classes and rehearsals.

FYI: All Class Demonstrators will be appropriately dressed for the class that they are working in - or they will not be allowed to continue. Remember, you are a ROLE MODEL!
