Every dancer should bring a bottle for water each day. Ballet Lubbock has a reverse osmosis water system.
Dancers in Levels 1 – 3 are permitted to bring a snack each day.
Due to severe peanut allergies, we do not permit food with peanuts or peanut-based products (such as peanut oil used to fry foods at restaurants like Chick-fil-A) at Ballet Lubbock. Food is never allowed in a dance studio and should only be consumed in designated areas.
Please register online or return the enclosed registration form with your payment as soon as possible to ensure that your dancer will have a place in the appropriate class.

If your dancer has never been enrolled at Ballet Lubbock and is older than 5 years old, we will need to conduct a placement lesson to ensure that they are placed in the appropriate class/level based on their physical development and ability. To arrange this, please email us at info@balletlubbock.org.

Registration is handled entirely on a first-come, first-served basis.
