BDPA Uniform Hoodie Requirement: All ballet, tap, and jazz students are required to possess a BDPA uniform black zip-up hoodie. This can be worn comfortably over the cardigan during warm-up sessions.

Hair Requirements: For class, hair must be securely styled in a low bun before the start of classes. We kindly request that you ensure your dancer's hair is properly styled prior to their arrival for class. Our instructors will guide students to put their hair up before entering the classroom.

For ballet students with very short hair (unable to put any hair elastic in), maintaining a neat and tidy appearance is still essential. In this case:

Please use a plain headband in the same color as their uniform to keep hair away from the face. The headband should be pinned into place to maintain a polished look while ensuring ease of movement.
