We promote a dress code. Class attire is designated by levels. Each level wears a different color!
Class attire options are selected for each level and designated by styles and color. Each class type or level can be found in this list. You can purchase your items online as directed. Arkansas Academy Of Dance receives reward points on many of the purchases you make, these points are then applied to Arkansas Festival Ballet costuming needs.
You have some fun attire options, have fun shopping!
