GET READY FOR CLASS

Dancers ages 8-10 who are enrolled in the Dance Exploration Youth Ballet Program at the Castle Rock Rec Center, should wear dance attire. Tactile sensitivities should disappear as children's sensory systems continue to develop.  ​ Children in the Youth Ballet Program should learn how to wear appropriate Ballet attire, because the dress code allows the instructor to apply corrections with a goal to avoid injuries. These important corrections may go unnoticed if a dancer is not in the appropriate attire for dance. Learning to dress appropriately for dance classes as children get older will be important, especially for those dancers who are looking to continue their studies. Like all activities that have a specific dress code, ballet dress code is rooted in years of tradition - proven to ensure that the dancers enrolled in ballet classes receive the best instruction, can limit distractions, and create a sense of inclusion among their peers.
