Issue 5 – Dress Code
We know that planning your Summer Course dancewear wardrobe is always top of mind. SAB has a specific dress code and we require all our Summer Course students to adhere to it when in classes. Today we are sharing everything you need to know about what to wear in your SAB summer classes.
Important Note: Please remember to label all your dancewear, shoes and clothing with your name or initials before arriving at SAB for the summer!
Our basic girls class uniform is a plain leotard and pink tights with leotard colors varying by class level or type. Leotards can be any brand or style, however, we prefer that they not be made of lace or velvet and that they do not have side or front cutouts. Leotards should also not have trim or accents in different colors.
Below are the dress code requirements listed by the type of class. The age ranges provided here are general, as class placement is not based on age alone. Please keep in mind that it is difficult to know precisely which age-clothing-category your student will fall into until their placement class has occurred when they arrive.

Summer Course Payments & COVID-19
The due date for your balance payments for Tuition and Room & Board fees has been extended and the new deadline is May 1. Please refer to the email you received from SAB’s registrar Amara Dieter for detailed instructions. Many parents are reaching out to inquire about SAB’s refund policies in relation to concerns about novel coronavirus and how the current public health crisis might impact SAB’s ability to offer the Summer Course as scheduled. As you can see from this newsletter, we are proceeding with optimism that our summer programs will be uninterrupted, despite the fact that our facility will be closed for the balance of our current Winter Term. However, should we be prevented from holding the Summer Course, SAB will refund all Tuition and Room & Board payments.
