DRESS CODE
General Guidelines
To ensure a safe, professional, and focused learning environment, all dancers are required to follow the dress code appropriate for their class. Proper attire allows for full range of movement, helps instructors provide corrections, and promotes discipline and confidence.

All shoes should be dance-specific and in good condition.
All shoes should be labeled on the inside with your dancers’ name or initials.
