Dress Code

Appropriate Dance Attire

Our dress code is designed so teachers can see the dancer’s bodylines, including posture, arms, legs and feet. Dancers will get the most out of their classes when the dress code is followed.

  • For the safety of all our dancers, no jewelry should be worn in class
