It helps to be a dancer when you look like a dancer. We ask parents to help your dancers understand and follow this policy. By signing the policy/release form, you are agreeing to adhere to your classes dress code.
Come prepared. We will enforce the dress code. Pack your dance bag the night before and always come prepared. Big chunky shoes, boots and other street shoes and/or jeans are not dance attire and are not acceptable.
If you do not wear the proper dance clothes, we reserve the right to ask you to leave class. We need to be able to see your body in motion and you need to be able to move freely and safely.
