Professional appearance is expected from BKS students both in class and on stage. This is not only for safety reasons, but for a strong impression and classic visual.

CLASS: Students must wear their hair in a neat, flat bun for Ballet class. For all other classes, hair can be worn in a bun or ponytail.

PERFORMANCES / EVENTS: Performers will need a hairbrush, comb, elastics, hairnets, gel, hairspray, bobby pins (flat), and hair pins (U-shaped). Some students may need a straighter or curler.

1. There should be no fly-aways, bangs, wispies, bumps, knots, etc. Hair must be slicked back with a tight and secure hold.

2. Arrive to the venue with your hair completed.

3. If a dancer’s hair is too short to put in a ponytail or bun, please style it neatly off of the dancer’s face.

4. Ponytails should be held up with at least two hair elastics to prevent slipping. All elastics, bobby pins, and hairnets must match the hair color. Bring extra supplies.

5. A headpiece should never fall off on stage. Pin all headpieces securely to the right side of the dancer’s bun. Headpieces should lay flat and must not shift or move around as the dancer performs. A headpiece should add to, not distract from the dancer.

6. BKS Instructors will choose a specific hairstyle for each routine based on the choreography and costume. Hair styles are subject to change.

7. All dancers in a given routine must have the same hair style. Each routine must have a headpiece, and all dancers must have the same one.
