Dancewear Guide
YBA students are required to wear the dancewear as prescribed below for each class and exam. The class leotards must be purchased from YBA and have the YBA logo on the back. Ballet tights, soft shoes and character shoes may be purchased elsewhere, but must be the same brand and model as listed below.
Right before the annual exams, students will purchase the next grade’s leotard and wear that for the exam. This is because RAD requires that the “uniform should be clean and well-fitting”.
