Please find your class below to see what is required.

dress code

Dress code gives the instructors the ability to see the dancer's alignment in order to give them the highest level of dance education. Wearing appropriate dance apparel along with having hair pulled neatly away from the face is essential in every class to help minimize distraction and discomfort and the risk of potential injury.

A FEW NOTES ABOUT DRESS CODE:

Students for all classes will need their leotard in the proper color, and required shoe type. 

Hair must be secured in neat bun with hairnet. No jewelry, watches or fit bits.
