Dress Code

It is very important for you as parents to understand the importance of implementing a strict dress code in our programs. First of all, our studio prides itself on its professional environment. All dancers should look uniform for faculty to properly teach and correct students. Not only will it teach the children discipline, they will become responsible for their uniform, and take pride in the way they look. Baggy t-shirts and sweatpants become a lazy alternative to dancewear. Parents, please make it your priority to ensure your child has the proper dancewear and shoes for each class. Hair must always be neatly off the face in a ponytail or bun. Please use strong elastic bands and clips to keep it tidy.

The following is a list of shoes, dancewear and hair. Please note that where it says beige you may also wear black. Older dancers usually prefer black. Please note that for our show we will let you know if shoes may have to be dyed.
