DRESS CODE
 
To dance is to use the whole body. Sending your dancer to class in appropriate clothes, shoes, and hair style, not only helps your dancer feel more prepared for class, but also allows the teacher to clearly see your dancer’s body alignment: spine, hips, waistline, legs, arms, etc. This helps proper technique to be taught to your child.

We ask that students take care and pride in the way they prepare themselves to attend dance class. As well as being respectful to the teachers, it will help your dancer to be confident in themselves and their work.

Dancers not appropriately dressed will be asked to sit and observe class.
