Students are expected to attend class as often as possible. However, it is very important to Summit to keep all dancers healthy, so if your child has any symptoms of illness please do not send them to class. We do not want to call parents to pick up sick students.

Our Spring Recital will take place at the end of the season. Students will be required to attend the Recital as well as Tech/Dress Rehearsals leading up to the Recital. Additional Recital and rehearsal details will be sent out during the season.

– Plain black leotard (can be tank/straps, short sleeved, or long sleeved)
– Pink footed ballet tights (these can be convertible or solid footed tights, but must be inside ballet shoes for class).
– Pink ballet shoes – these are flat ballet slippers in ballet pink (not pointe shoes)
– Hair in a bun – pulled back and away from the face.
