Dress Code
Scroll down to view the dress code for each style of dance. Dancers not in proper dress code or without proper footwear may be asked to sit out of class for safety reasons. Please do not send your dancer to class in a costume or excessive jewelry. Our teachers are happy to work with students and families to find attire that makes each dancer comfortable in class. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your teacher with questions about attire.
