General clarification on works content


** No ballet teacher worth their salt would permit anyone to take class without their hair pinned up in a neat bun or, for shorter hair, secured back away from their faces; this is for safety as well as to be able to correct technique. Even adult students and professional dancers keep their hair up and back, although for class and rehearsal their buns are often considerably more messy than you'd see on ballet students.

** No Covers often show the characters in the main group with their hair down loose, in braids, or just free, and descriptions in text talk about hair being at best, pulled back. (This is why the girls make fun of the Bunheads--for having their hair in tight buns when they don't.) However, no ballet teacher worth their salt would permit anyone ''anyone'' to take class without their hair pinned up in a neat bun or, for shorter hair, secured back away from their faces; this is for safety as well as to be able to correct technique.

* ArtisticLicenseArt: Part of Mary's [[TheKlutz clumsiness]] in class initially is that her ballet slippers are too big for her feet, since her mother hopes she'll grow into them. However, she wouldn't be allowed to dance at ''all'' in oversized slippers--ballet slippers, even for beginners, must be snug to the foot and well-fitted both to avoid tripping and to make sure the foot is holding positions properly. She would be expected to get correctly sized shoes by the dance teachers, and would almost certainly be forbidden from taking class for safety reasons without them.
