DRESS CODE GUIDELINES:
Let's "Dress for Success!"
Please note that our dress code is rather strict.
Shoes worn for purposes other than dance are NOT to be worn for class.
We have experienced all manner of problems when dancers do not bring athletic dance shoes to class.
We desire to avoid unwanted items tracking into the studio (dirt, sand, dog poop, etc.)
Please help us keep our floors clean and safe/sanitary for our dancers!
Please do not wear your school shoes to class for Hip Hop or Jump & Acrobatics.
DRESS CODE GUIDELINES:
Please bring dancer shoes (marked with dancer’s name) in a dance bag.
Please do not wear your dance shoes outside of the studio. Upon arrival, please change into your dance shoes.
ALL STUDENTS/ALL CLASSES: hair pulled away from the face, only non-removable jewelry.
