Dress Code & Uniforms
For your convenience, we now have "The Intermission", a dance attire boutique. Dance attire (uniform leotards, shoes, tights) is
available for purchase within our facility. You can contact Jennifer Morgan
regarding your uniform needs.
Bluegrass Youth Ballet does have a dress code. Please refer to the information listed below for the appropriate dance attire for
each level.
Baby Ballet:
Students in Baby Ballet may wear dance attire, but it is not required. A light pink leotard, pink tights, a one-layer light pink
chiffon skirt, and pink leather ballet shoes will prepare them for the dress codes they will follow in Creative Movement and
Pre-Ballet classes. However, at their age, they are not required to wear dance attire. They may also wear any clothing that
allows them to move freely.
**Parents of Baby Ballet students will be in the classroom with the children. However, parents can wear regular clothing and
socks or barefeet.
Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet 1 and 2:
Students in these levels are required to wear the official BYB uniform sold in our boutique. It is a light pink leotard
embroidered with the BYB logo (available in camisole, short sleeves and long sleeves), and it has a chiffon skirt attached.
Also, light pink footed-tights, and pink leather ballet shoes are required. During the warmer months students in Creative
Movement and Pre-Ballet can wear short white socks in place of tights if they choose. Hair must be worn in a tight bun for each
class. For safety reasons please refrain from wearing jewelry to class.
Levels A-H (Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced):
These levels must wear the royal blue BYB embroidered uniform leotard (available in camisole and tank) available in our boutique.
Students in Level H can also wear the black BYB uniform leotard. Students must wear pink footed or convertible tights (seams are
preferred), pink canvas or leather ballet shoes, and hair must be pulled back in a tight bun for all classes. For safety
purposes, jewelry should be removed before entering class.
**On Saturdays Levels G and H are permitted to wear any style and color leotard for classes and rehearsals.
Boys:
Boys should wear a white T-shirt, black tights or shorts, white socks and black or white leather ballet shoes.
Modern Classes:
Modern class is usually taken in bare feet. Convertible tights are recommended so students can roll them up and dance with bare
feet. The BYB uniform leotard can be worn for Modern. Hair must be in a ponytail or in a bun.
Adults:
There is no specific dress code for Adult classes. Please wear comfortable clothing that will not restrict movement in any way.
Adults may wear dancewear or exercise attire if they wish. Ballet shoes are recommended.
Dance attire is available for purchase at the following location in Lexington. However, the BYB uniform leotards are only
