Dress Code
Western Ballet’s Open Program does not have a dress code. Students are welcome to wear what they feel comfortable in but do not restrict you from movement. Students are welcome to wear traditional ballet attire or yoga pants and a t-shirt. Clothes that are too baggy may make it difficult for teachers to give students feedback. Hair up and away from the student’s face is best for class.
Students should wear ballet shoes to class. You may use any style or brand. New students may wear thick socks before deciding to continue class.
Studio Etiquette
- No outside shoes, food, or drink (other than water) allowed in the studio
- Please do not use scented lotions and/or perfumes
- No observation of classes unless approved
- Please refrain from video recording of any kind
- Open Program students are not permitted in the studios 30 minutes after the class has started. This is to prevent students from getting injured as well as to not disrupt the class.
Class Cancellation
If Open Program students would like to cancel a that they have signed up for, they must cancel their Open Program class at least 4 hours before the class begins in order to not be charged for that class. If you do not cancel the class before the required time then you will be automatically charged for the class and it will be considered as a late cancellation with no refund. If you use a class from a purchased package, this class will not return to your account if you do not sign out at least 4 hours before the class starts.
