| ATTIRE BY PROGRAM |
Class Attire:
All Classes have a required Dress Code
All students are required to wear appropriate attire which adheres to the studio Dress Code for the class(es) they attend. Students who do not come in proper attire, with proper hair will not be allowed to participate in class.
For all of our classes, we are able to order everything your dancer needs!
Please note, all ballet classes have a specific leotard color appropriate for each class level.
Why a dress code?
- Dancers create lines and shapes with their bodies. In order for instructors to see the created lines and the correct use of musculature, a leotard and tights with hair pulled up into a bun, are the best uniforms to use for ballet and younger combo classes. Form fitting attire (ie, jazz pants, boy cut shorts with tights, camisoles, leotards, etc) is required for jazz/lyrical/acro/contemporary/musical theater classes with hair secured away from the face in a pony tail. Dancers ultimately work harder, are more focused, when appropriately dressed and prepared for class.
**Please note, our dress code is enforced both for in-person classes as well as ZOOM.
BUILDING BLOCKS
(2 years through Kindergarten)
(Includes: Tiny Twos, Creative Dance, Combo, and Accelerated Combo)
- These classes are COMBO classes, meaning that they include both Ballet AND Tap! Accelerated Combo includes Ballet, Tap AND Jazz. Dancers will participate in both styles every week and require both style shoes!
- Girls - leotard, tights, pink ballet slippers, black tap shoes
- Boys - white t-shirt, black pants, black ballet slippers, black tap shoes
- Skirts are optional. For our youngest dancers skirts are often distracting, and can often get in the way of specific skills. We ask that our youngest dancers come dressed in just a leotard and tights!
