At Ballet Caliente, dancers wear particular colors to denote which level they are in.  We require each of our dancers to wear the Capezio brand of leotard.  Short sleeves, camisoles and tank strap style choices are acceptable for all levels.  Please, no leotards with attached skirts.

Dancers and their families do not need to purchase leotards from Amazon.  The link is provided to point families in the correct direction of color and general style.
