ARB Uniform Leotards
All students at the Academy of Russian Ballet are required to wear our uniform leotards to all classes*. Each level as a specific color.
Our youngest students begin with a Pink leotard in the Pre-Ballet classes, and when they reach Level 8 they wear the classic Black leotard.
People often ask how many they should purchase and it depends on how often you want to wash clothes!
For students attending class 1-2 times a week, one leotard is fine. If they have classes 3 times or more a week, you may want 2 or more leotards.
We recommend you wash the leotards in COLD water and then let them HANG dry. Do not put them in the dryer!
* Level 7 students have the option to wear any type/color leotard to Saturday classes.
* Level 8 students have the option to wear any type/color leotard to Friday AND Saturday classes.
Please look at the chart below for sizing information. When ordering, the "girth" measurement is the most important. (length of the body)
