LEVELS/DRESS CODES
At the Talent Factory we do our best to give a quality class that offers proper technique as well as fun for the students. Class attire is important for optimum learning and also helps in keeping class focus. Girls hair must be pulled back off the face in a secure ponytail for all classes, buns are recommended for ballet. For all child ballet classes please be sure to tuck strings into their shoes to keep from untying and disrupting their learning.
