Florence Fleming Noyes established the tradition of wearing a costume of leotard and tunic of varying lengths and colors. The costume reflects the Greek ideals of simplicity and beauty from which Noyes takes its inspiration.

The costume is graceful in movement and flattering to all wearers. It consists of two lengths of material pinned at the shoulders and is easy to make, or you may borrow a tunic when you get to camp. Tunics are worn at all Noyes Rhythm classes and at all meals except picnics.

Noyes has been defined as the development of a natural sense of rhythm through freedom of movement. The rhythm overflows from movement into all aspects of one's living. In order to assist in this process, radios, newspapers, televisions and other distractions are left at home. All campers are asked to contribute to the Noyes atmosphere by shedding as many outside concerns as possible.
