OUR DRESS CODE IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR CURRICULUM.  SHOWING RESPECT FOR OUR ART IN CONDUCT AS WELL AS A DRESS CODE HELPS FOSTER THE REQUIRED DISCIPLINE IT TAKES TO LEARN A CLASSICAL ART. TO ASSIST YOU IN PREPARING YOUR DANCER PROPERLY FOR CLASSES FOLLOWING ARE SPECIFICS ON OUR DRESS CODE:

​

Note on shoe requirements:  The shoes noted are the shoes required for Recital.  You do not need to purchase new shoes for class just to match a color or style requirement unless required for Recital at the end of the year.

For instance, if the required shoe for your jazz class is a tan slip-on and you already have a black pair that still fit  — it’s fine to use those for class until it’s time for you to purchase a new size or required for Recital.

All students are required to wear appropriate dance attire.  Close-fitting clothing permits instructor to see problems and make corrections. Hair must be tied back away from face (we suggest a ponytail or bun for long hair, dancers with shorter hair should pin back sides away from face).  No bracelets, dangling earrings, necklaces, or watches.  Students who do not follow the dress code requirements will not be permitted to take class.  Instructor decision is final.

​

In the winter months ballet sweaters and/or knit shorts will be allowed on chilly days.  No sweatshirts or t-shirts.

​

​

Shoes: Pink Leather Ballet Shoes (Females), Black (Males). Elastics on the shoe should be sewn with one strap at the ankle (Required for recital).
