ACADEMY UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS
Why we wear a uniform
The Academy uniform is an integral part of the Ballet Austin Academy experience. The uniform indicates that students are in a special learning environment and allows the teacher to clearly see the student’s body, facilitating corrections on proper alignment and correct positions.
Cover-up suggested
For the safety of our students, we ask that a cover-up be worn over ballet attire when traveling to and from the studios.
