What should my dancer wear to ballet?

Wear pink tights, a black leotard, and ballet shoes for all ballet classes. Pointe shoes are worn only by Pointe students and must be approved by the teacher first. Hair should be neatly secured in a bun. See the full dress code page for more details on all class styles.

When can my dancer start Pointe?

Pointe is by invitation only, after an evaluation by Macy Monroe. There is no fixed age. Dancers first build ankle and core strength in Pre-Pointe classes. Macy evaluates each dancer's strength, alignment, and technique and invites them to Pointe when ready. Evaluation is ongoing through the season, and pointe shoes are worn only with the teacher's approval. For more on the path to Pointe, read our pointe readiness guide.

Why is ballet called the foundation of dance?

Ballet is considered the foundation of artistic dance because it teaches the fundamental movements, body alignment, and musicality that all other dance styles build on. Whether your dancer pursues jazz, acro, contemporary, or any style, ballet strengthens control, coordination, and artistry, giving them skills that last a lifetime.
