BALLET.

Ballet classes are broke up into Barre exercises, Center floor, Adagio, Petite Allegro, and Grand Allegro.  It provides a dancer to move with grace, develop proper body alignment, and low impact strengthing.

MCDM is committed to the foundations, technique, and discipline that Ballet provides every level and style of dancer.  No matter what type of dancer you want to be, we believe that Ballet can have a significant impact on a dancer’s progress.

All Ballet ONLY  classes require Pink ballet shoes and “Ballet Pink” tights. Black leotards are strongly suggested for class.  They may wear black leggings, leg warmers, or fitted long sleeve over during winter only. Hair in secure BUN please.

Dress code details for bras with leotards/bra support in all styles:

• Look for leotards that have “shelf bra” noted in description, so that you may not need to wear a bra with your leotard.
• If you need to wear a bra with your leotard, it must be fully concealed by leotard (in general this cannot be achieved with sports/athletic bras)
• Please pick a leotard with either a racer back, a high back/collar, or a relatively high scoop back that matches the style of bra you have, and vice versa.  If you can, wear a leotard with either thick tank straps or sleeves.  These styles will help hide your bra under the leotard.

Why should a bra not be visible with a leotard?

• I (Miss Lacy) would view this similar to not having a bra visible with formal dress or sleeveless top.  
• It distracts from view when correcting for technique and also can be a physical hindrance to a dancer’s movement.
• Bras are typically not seen or worn with ballet leotards, but we also understand that all body types and ages need to feel comfortable and supported.
