Dress Code Policy
Consistent with our professional approach to dance education, we require our students to adhere to the following dress code:
Base Dress Code (students aged 3 to 9)
We require our younger dancers to wear a solid color leotard and tights. Ballet skirts are allowed for ladies and black shorts or pants are allowed for gentlemen. We prefer pink or flesh tone ballet shoes and black tap shoes. For dancers taking jazz, we prefer black jazz shoes. We ask that all hair be pulled back away from the face. To maintain professionalism and safety, we do not allow bare tummies or legs, or baggy clothing.

We require dancers in the intermediate and advanced intermediate levels to wear a solid color leotard and tights. Ballet skirts, dance shorts, solid color leggings, or dance pants are allowed as layers in addition to the leotard and tights. We prefer pink or flesh tone ballet shoes, black tap shoes, and black jazz shoes. Hair must be secured in a bun for ballet and a bun or ponytail for tap and jazz. To maintain professionalism and safety, we do not allow bare tummies or legs, or baggy clothing.
