​
All sleeve lengths are acceptable in class, however, we recommend thin-strap leotards as this may prevent you from needing to buy a separate undergarment for performances (depending on the costume selected). Please select a leotard style that provides complete midriff and chest coverage and add undergarments to support chest as needed.
