I don't know anything about the art of ballet (or any other form of dance) but I want to give my daughters a chance to take dance classes. I have enrolled my 3 year old into ballet & she starts tomarrow. I have no idea what she'll need etc...

Other than those three items, everything else is optional, such as a dance sweater or a little dance skirt ... but since she is only three, I would not recommend either one. At that age, they tend to get very distracted with clothing articles that are easily removable.
A leotard with an attached skirt is usually very popular with young ones.

She will need different things depending on the studio. At my studio I teach the three and four year olds and they wear a black leotard and pink tights with leather ballet shoes. They love to wear a skirt to class over their leotard, even though they can't wear it while dancing. Each studio varies their dress code, so check the studio policy, but pink tights and shoes with a black leotard are commonly used. Little ones always love to have little extras in their hair like a cute scrunchies or something. Also a dance bag of their choice can light up their day. I hope she has a wonderful fist day of class.

sometimes children her age will wear little pink skirts which you can buy at farmers stores but sometimes the ballet teacher will have her own collection.
she may need a pink headband to keep her hair out of her eyes.
she might also need a crossover top that you can buy at ballet stores incasre it gets cold and if she is doing character work she will need a character skirt and shoes which the teacher usually has too

aside from what you've mentioned (shoes, etc.) she may be allowed to wear a ballet sweater in the winter, maybe a leo with an attached skirt, be sure to ask her teacher if there's a dress code. also, make sure you can secure her hair away from her face.

Seems like they would have told you. I think you have it covered. I want to commend you for enrolling her. Even if she does not become a ballerina, she will learn immensely and it will help her the rest of her life. Don't make it a competitive thing though, and if it is not her thing, it is not.
I hope she loves it.
And good for you for giving her opportunities when she is young.
