Hair

Ballet

Girls in all ballet classes from Primary upwards must wear their hair in a neat and tidy bun

or pinned so hair does not obscure the neck line or get in the pupils eyes .

If a pupil has short hair they can wear a hairband to match their leotard , gripped into place with hair grips . The ballet bun keeps hair from distracting the dancer and from flying in the dancers face ; it also creates a clean elegant line and enables the teacher to observe the pupils neck line .

See below for instructions on a quick easy way to make a proper ballet bun .

Modern , Tap , Jazz , Pre-school & Pre-Primary

Girls in these classes can wear their hair tied away fron the face in a high pony tail . Wispy

bits secured with hair grips .

To make a ballet bun

As we realise it is often a rush after school to get ready for dancing classes here is a quick

easy method for making a ballet bun .

What do I need ?

Hair brush

Large covered hair elastic

Nylon hair net

Thick hair pins ( not hair grips ) Hair pins ( U shape ) are thicker and will grip more hair .

Hair grips will slide out of your bun . Hair grips can be used to grip any loose pieces of

hair that do not fit into the pony tail .

How do I make a bun ?

Brush hair smooth

Pull hair neatly into a pony tail at the back of the head or higher .

Secure ponytail tightly with hair elastic .

Grip any wisps that will not go into pony tail with grips .

Twist the pony tail and wrap around pony tail inserting a few hair pins .
