Dress Code Guidelines

ALL DANCERS—No dangling jewelry please, hair pulled off face, no gum & remember: THE STUDIO IS A WATER ONLY FACILITY! (no sodas, coffee, juice, etc.) Your water bottles are welcome to join you in the classrooms.

Future Stars, Tall & Small & Sparklers —The only requirement for our young dancers is a QUALITY DANCE SHOE please. The local discount stores are mislabeling play slippers as official dance shoes. Any color and/or style of dancewear is fine. Keep in mind, the kids turn upside down during stretches & tumbling and need body-hugging clothes.

BALLET—No foot thongs during barre work. Ballet slippers only, any color. Clean lines preferred for ballet class. Ballet skirts welcome for all but Brigitte's class. (see below) Hair pulled back.

Lyrical —Foot thongs or ballet slippers. Bare feet okay for our "Barefoot Modern" classes! Hair pulled off face and clean lines preferred. Ballet skirts welcome.

Tap —Dance clothes please! Absolutely NO street clothes; jeans, skirts, etc. This is DANCE class! Work out wear is great. Be aware if your class is a combo class with tumbling, then body hugging tops are prudent. Second year tappers and above: tap OXFORDS only.

Tumbling/Acrobatics —Gymnastic "booties" only please. Absolutely NO bare feet on the mats! No foot thongs, roman sandals nor jazz shoes please. Any color gymnastic bootie is fine. Body hugging dancewear a MUST for safety when being spotted on stunts as well as remaining "covered up" when upside down. Hair styled so that you can stand on your head or do a front roll without it hurting.

Hip Hop —If the class is Hip Hop ONLY, then hip hop style clothes are fine; baggy pants, etc. Hip Hop sneaker or jazz shoe please. Try to keep baggy & loose to a minimum so the teacher can see what you are doing!
