General Guidelines

Hair

All dancers should have their hair secured away from the face. For ballet and pointe classes, a neat bun is required. Bobby pins and hair nets help keep hair secure during movement.

Jewelry

For safety reasons, no jewelry should be worn during class. This includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Small stud earrings may be permitted at instructor discretion.

Dance Shoes

Dance shoes should only be worn in the studio, never outside. This keeps our floors clean and your shoes in good condition. Please bring a bag for street shoes.

Where to Purchase Dance Attire

Dance shoes and attire can be purchased at local dance supply stores or online retailers. Our front desk staff can provide recommendations for reputable stores in the area.
