Note from Teachers – Especially to all Prep Students
Please bring hairbrush, hair net and pins to ballet. We need the girls hair to be tied up and look nice and tidy for Ballet. All hair must be up please!
Studio Usage
Students – If you need access to the studios, please do check with the Ballet Office in advance. We have had instances when regular classes (non-Ballet) have had to give way to non-booked student practice.
Edumate
Parents – please check your child’s Ballet and Dance timetable/profile to determine that they are attending the correct classes. Let the office know if there are any discrepancies.
New Uniform
We have a new top for Jazz and Contemporary. Prep and Junior Ballet students can continue to wear their Ballet leotard with shorts to Jazz classes.
The Jazz top will become mandatory by Semester 2 for all Senior students but we will encourage all new students to purchase. Please ask in the Uniform Shop (not Bloch) for the new Ballet and Dance Jazz top. Please note that it is very small in size.
