HAIR
Women and girls of all ages are expected to have hair neatly pulled back for all classes and in a bun for all ballet classes.
Younger girls will need assistance, but are expected to be able to do their own hair as they reach middle school ages. SEE MS. JACKIE'S STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING A BEAUTIFUL BUN IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
Men and boys should also take care to have hair away from the eyes.
