  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows for unrestricted movement and ability to see full body (including face)
  • Students may be asked to dance barefoot or in jazz or ballet slippers. No additional footwear is needed for auditions, but if cast in a ballet or jazz-based work, appropriate footwear will be required.
