Dress Code

Academy Dress Code:
Proper dance attire is required at our academy. Dance is about fun and discipline. One part of the discipline of dance is to be properly attired to participate in class. Dressed appropriately the instructor can see the students body lines, body placement and posture and make the necessary corrections to the students form and technique. Girls must have their hair in a bun for ballet and pulled off their face in a ponytail for all other classes. Please see below for specific class attire. We also ask that all students wear warm-ups coming to and from the academy.
