Dress Code and Policies

Our goal is to provide a positive, supportive, and inclusive environment where dancers can build confidence, develop skills, make friendships, and discover a lifelong love of dance.

Below is some helpful information to get you started. If you have any questions, our office team is always happy to help.

Your First Class

For your first class, please:

Arrive 5–10 minutes early.
Bring a water bottle.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement.
Have long hair secured away from the face.
Wear appropriate dance shoes if you have them. If not, contact us and we will be happy to provide guidance.

Dress Code

We believe in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for every dancer. Our dress code is designed to help dancers move safely, allow instructors to properly see body alignment, and ensure students are prepared for class.

General Clothing Guidelines

Dancers may wear:

Leotards
Dance tops or crop tops
Fitted t-shirts or tank tops

Please avoid excessively baggy clothing as it prevents instructors from seeing proper technique and body alignment.

Ballet and Acro dancers are strongly encouraged to wear their hair in a bun.
Hair should be secured away from the face before class begins.

Required Footwear By Class

For most classes, dancers may participate barefoot, in socks, or in appropriate dance shoes, depending on their comfort and the class.

Tap: Tap shoes are required for regular participation. However, dancers are welcome to attend their first trial class without tap shoes.

If you are unsure what footwear is appropriate for your dancer, please contact the office—we’re happy to help!

Not Sure What To Buy?

Don't worry! Dancers are welcome to attend their first class in comfortable athletic clothing while deciding if the class is the right fit. Before purchasing dancewear or shoes, we encourage families to attend their first class or contact the office. Our staff are happy to provide recommendations and help ensure you purchase the correct items.
