I don't want people who want to dance,
I want people who have to dance.

Dress Code

Proper dance attire is extremely important.  A large percentage of dance is based on correct body placement.  Teachers need to be able to see a student’s body in order to give necessary corrections.

Dancewear

  • Ballet, Combo: Theatrical pink tights and black leotard are required.

  • Jazz, Tap, Modern, Hip Hop: Solid black leotard and solid black jazz pants.

SHOES

  • Tap: Combo Classes-Black patent children's shoe; Tap 1-Adv. Tap-Capezio Flex Master #CG16 or Block Tap Flex #SO388

  • Ballet: Combo Classes-Pink leather ballet shoe; Ballet 1-Adv. Ballet-Pink leather split sole

  • Jazz: Black leather pull-on jazz boot

  • Modern: You will dance without shoes unless specified by the teacher.

Please remember that dance shoes should never be worn outside the dance studio.  You should change from street shoes into dance shoes upon entering class.

Accessories (t-shirts, shorts, sweats) are not acceptable for class attire.  The teacher may ask at any time for these accessories to be removed. 

Hair must be pulled back in a ponytail for class.  If your child's hair is too short, please pull back with clips or a headband.
