Turn Up On Time Being late is poor ballet etiquette and disrespectful to your instructor. You will be expected to warm up before you begin and being late limits your space at the barre – where all classes begin.
Some instructors will shut the studio doors, meaning that if you are late, that is it. If you are late, please enter the studio as quietly as possible if your instructor allows.
Dress Neatly You aren't required to wear a leotard in an open class, but you should dress neatly so we can still see your position. Don't wear anything too baggy, but also don't wear anything too revealing. Ballet training involves lifting your legs, bending forwards and backwards, and jumping.
Our beginner classes require flat ballet shoes. If you are unsure, talk to your teacher before you turn up and we will give you the information you need.
Mastering Ballet Takes Time Ballet can look beautiful and effortless, but not straight away. There is no easy way to say that it is difficult to master, and it can take a long time to feel like you can achieve it, especially if you have never done it before.
Be kind to yourself and don’t give up. Even the professionals had to train hard to master the combinations. Ballet is foundational, so you are always building up your technique. This will help you progress.
