Dance Dress Code

We have a dress code policy in place to help students gain a positive body image. It will also give the teacher the ability to see the dancer’s body outline to make proper corrections on posture and alignment. At the same time, it will create an atmosphere of attentiveness and respect between the student and teacher, so we ask students to abide by the following rules:

  • Hair must be properly secured and tied up off the face and neck for all styles of dance.
  • For safety reasons, absolutely no jeweler is allowed in class other than small earrings.
  • Gum chewing is not allowed due to the danger of choking and appearance.
  • No loose-fitting pants, blue jeans, t-shirts, or other unprofessional clothes.
  • Students taking several classes in a row are permitted to keep the same tights/attire and only change shoes between classes.
  • Shoes and tights requirements will stay the same for the recital and MUST be followed. Only mentioned attire will be permitted in the class.
  • Absolutely no other outfits dresses/tutus/crowns/elaborate hair accessories/outdoor shoes etc. We find it distracting to the kids and the class progresses.
  • Water bottles must be presented at each class.
