Wearing the proper clothes in class is just as important as it is on stage. Our dress code aims to ensure proper mobility, safety, evaluation of technique and respect towards the dance style being practiced.
Please review our dress code below.
Since many of our dance students have classes one after the other, it is acceptable to wear the same attire for these classes,
changing/removing shoes depending on style of class. (Ex. If going from Ballet to Jazz, changing tights is not required)
