Super Saturday Statute
For some reason, many fledgling dancers resist putting their hair
up. This is understandable, since it takes a little extra time to do, but
wearing the hair loose, or even in a ponytail is not an option in a classical
ballet class.
Why? There are several reasons. First of all, it keeps the
hair out of the dancer’s face, especially during turns. Second, it allows the
teacher to have an unencumbered view of the muscles in the student’s neck (a
common place for too much tension); and third, it simply looks better and
presents a cleaner line.
Some dance academies require a bun, some allow a French
twist or other variations. When in doubt, the hair should be neatly arranged in
a bun. Bangs are also not allowed for some of the same reasons listed above.
The only exception to this statute is if the dancer has a very
short haircut that doesn't allow for any type of bun, or twist, etc.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Statute #26:
“In a ballet class, females always wear their hair up.”
