Dress Code

Students are required to abide by the Midland Festival Ballet Dress Code/Uniform in order to participate in class.
Shoe fittings and sizing leotards are available at the MFB studios. Contact MFB to Schedule.

Midland Festival Ballet is partnering with Jai La Pointe (Got the Pointe) and SoDanca+ for our 2024-2025 Season.

ALL STUDENTS

  • Hair - For ladies, hair must be secured in a bun using hair and/or bobby pins. For gentlemen, hair must be secured off the neck and out of the face. Dancers will not be allowed to enter class if hair is not appropriately secured. 

  • Female students should not wear underwear/panties underneath their tights and leotards. Tights are made with a built-in cotton gusset for this purpose. 

  • No jewelry except for small stud earrings for pierced ears. This includes rings, bracelets, necklaces and permanent soldered jewelry.  

  • Tutus, skirts, and other warm-ups will not be allowed in class unless designated by instructor for levels Ballet 5 and up.  

  • Students must wear appropriate street clothing & footwear over dance attire when arriving/departing from the studio. A cover up can be as simple as a t shirt or shorts over your dancer’s leotard and tights.

  • Dancers may not wear ballet slippers outside as street shoes. Oil, tar, dirt, and debris can easily damage our studio’s brand-new vinyl dance floors. If we see students enter the lobby wearing their ballet slippers, they will not be allowed to wear them into class. 

  • A nude camisole leotard will be required for all dancers participating in MFB’s School Showcase, The Nutcracker, and The Firebird. Ordering details to follow.
