Dance Attire

TIGHTS ARE TO BE WORN AT ALL TIMES...NO BARE LEGS!
LEOTARDS SOLID COLOR (ONLY), HAIR UP AND AWAY FROM FACE AND SECURED
Dancers must adhere to the Dress Code. Dancers like other “athletes” must wear a uniform that enables them to move with ease and allows the instructor to see body alignment for placement and corrections.
ALL DANCE SHOES MUST BE LABLED WITH YOUR DANCER’S NAME TO ENSURE SAFE RETURN IF LOST.

PRE-PRIMARY - Leotard, tights, dance skirts, tutus (any color). Of-course ribbons in their hair! Leather ballet shoes and tap shoes.
*Please Note: Wal-mart, Target and K-Mart sell a bedroom slipper that looks like a ballet shoe, but it is not appropriate for class. These slippers do-not fit properly, causing the child’s foot to slip out. Wearing this kind of slipper in dance class may increase the risk of injury.

TAP - Leotard, tights, dance pants, tap shoes.

HIP-HOP - Jeans, sweat pants, t-shirts, hats, clean tennis shoes.
*Please Note: Students in Hip-Hop must have a separate clean pair of tennis shoes only to be worn in hip-hop class.
