Dress Code

Dress in dance clothing.  “Looking the part” is an important life lesson.  Showing up in dance clothing signals to everyone that you are serious about dance and are ready to do your best, wearing clothing that will help you to do so.

Please note: Dance shoes should not be worn outside of the studio (For example, to and from the car!)

Girls/Women:

  • Ballet: Tights and leotards in neutral ballet shades such as pink, white and black; pink ballet slippers, pink pointe shoes (if applicable).

Attendance

  • If a student misses a class it is their responsibility to make up that class by taking another class of their level. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to explore other genres of dance and experience other teachers.
  • Students who miss for school plays, or other school activities or commitments do not receive money back or a discount on tuition for missed classes. It is their job to communicate with us when they will be absent. We encourage you to reach out to your school to try to work out a schedule including your dance classes.
