DRESS CODE

Dance students may wear any clothing that is appropriate for dancing.  Below are our recommendations.

For BALLET classes:

GIRLS:  Leotard with pink tights  (footless tights are better for the younger dancers who often take off their Ballet shoes during class) 

BOYS:  T shirt with shorts or sweatpants

Bare feet or Ballet shoes made of leather or canvas.  Please tie Ballet shoestrings in a knot and cut off the excess string.

Hair should be secured away from the face with barrettes or other appropriate hair accessories.

For ALL THAT JAZZ & BALLET:  Ballet shoes made of leather or canvas (Jazz shoes are optional).  Please tie Ballet shoestrings in a knot and cut off the excess string.  Same attire as BALLET.  

For DANCE & PRANCE:  Bare feet and stretchy clothing

For HIP HOP classes and LET'S DANCE:  Stretchy clothing and sneakers (ideally, flat-soled sneakers that allow lateral movement like tennis or basketball shoes).  No Crocs or flip slops/slides.

For TAP N’ BALLET:  

Enter classroom wearing Tap shoes and carrying Ballet shoes in a small bag.  Please label all shoes with student's name (sometimes the instructor may tell the kids to come in wearing Ballet shoes first).  Velcro Tap shoes are easier for the kids to put on by themselves.  

Same attire as BALLET (see above).  

For RHYTHMIC DANCE:  

Stretchy clothing and bare feet or Ballet shoes.

For DANCE FOR MUSICAL THEATER:  

Ballet shoes or Jazz shoes recommended.  Dance clothes or stretchy clothing.
