Lyrical/Contemporary
Attire: Same attire as for jazz.
Shoes:
For Performance ~ Bloch Spin II Nude turning shoes
For Class ~ Jazz shoes are acceptable for lyrical, bare feet is acceptable for contemporary. Turn shoes are not super durable, and we want them to be clean for performance. So we do suggest using your jazz shoes for lyrical or barefeet for contemporary during class. Closer to performance time, you will need the turn shoes. -

Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)
The PBT program utilizes various pieces of equipment to aid in developing the dancers feeling of the movements and increasing their strength. Some of these items will be supplied by the studio, but registered dancers may be required to provide their own individualized pieces of equipment. Prior to the start of the season, the studio will communicate to registered dancers what equipment may need to be acquired. An example of possible equipment needed is an exercise ball. Please wait to hear from the studio for details before sourcing your equipment.
Dancers should wear ballet attire for class. Ensure tights are either stirrup or footless so the feet can be bare if needed.
