THE BALLET BUN
In addition to paying respect to a centuries old tradition, the purpose of the ballet bun is to have the hair off the neckline to create an elegant line in a style that compliments the dancer's placement and that cannot move around.
Ballet I and higher students' hair must be worn in a traditional ballet bun at the crown of the head. Bangs are allowed for class, but must be secured back for performances. For Ballet I and higher students with short hair, a sock bun is recommended.
Pre-Ballet and Elementary dancers may wear their hair in a traditional ballet bun, in a neat ponytail or braided with any loose hair secured off the face.
Small simple bun covers, bows, headbands, flowers or other fashion accessories are allowed for class, but not performances.
