This is the weekly schedule for all members of the Company Division. Schedule is subject to change.
Dress Code*
Hair: Up in a bun or neatly secured for all classes and rehearsals unless instructed otherwise. No claw clips (especially during partnering).
Leotards: Any style, color, or pattern.
Tights/Shoes: Flesh-colored or pink footed/convertible tights. When wearing pointe shoes, tights should be worn in your shoes, unless your shoes do not match the color of your tights. No cut off tights should be worn during classes during the school year. Black tights may be worn for rehearsals, but not classes or warm ups. Pointe shoes MUST have ribbons for performances.
Skirts: May be worn for during partnering class and rehearsals, but not during warm up or ballet technique classes unless there is a special reason and you have asked permission.
Shorts: Must be short, solid color, and very fitted. No shorts that are baggy, athletic style, have stripes, or logos.
Jewelry & Nails: Small earrings acceptable, but try to keep jewelry to a minimum for safety and lines. Please do not have extremely long nails (especially for partnering).

*Alumni are exempt from dress code and may choose what to wear to classes.

Hi Dancers! Bios for the season program will be due this week. Your bio should be 100 words or less. Please email your bio to Ms. Annalise at annalise.nilson@gmail.com by this Saturday, November 2nd. Here is an example:

She has been dancing since she was 3 years old, and is now a senior at Silas High School and also attends running start at Tacoma Community College. Mackenzie is very passionate about dance and enjoys spending time with the friends she has made through ballet. When she is not dancing, Mackenzie is often drawing, painting, or camping with family.
