Not sure about what your children should wear to a dance class? or what would suit them? Well you are not alone, we have compiled a few of the most frequently asked questions.


Ballet
Ballet is an art form that requires grace, poise, and athleticism. Like other dance forms, Ballet can express a mood, reflect the classical music, and provide a full body work out. Ballet increases flexibility, co-ordination, posture and confidence. Learn the disciplines of classical Ballet, in a fun atmosphere allowing your child to discover and explore their talent. Kids ballet at Manly Dance follows the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus allowing our students to progress through the respective grades with the knowledge and skills relevant to examination work. Ballet exams can be a pressure and not suited to every child, so they are not compulsory. Manly Dance promotes a love and passion for the art of classical ballet. However, if the your child wishes to take the exam, Manly Dance teachers will prepare them for the exams.

What to wear: Simple ballet attire, tight fitting and off the floor to allow freedom and movement. Please tie long hair back and out of the face. Suggestions for Girls: leotard, chiffon short skirt. Suggestions for Boys: white t-shirt or leotard, black bike shorts. Please wear ballet shoes.
