As with many sports, dance class has a special uniform. Dress code requirements are in place so that teachers can make sure students are working in proper alignment and to cut down on distractions in class. We do keep a stash of extra shoes and leotards in case a student leaves an item at home. Please check with your teacher or the front desk attendant 10 minutes before class if you need to borrow a uniform item.
General Guidelines
  • Tutus and patterned leotards are not permitted in class. Skirts are not permitted in Creative Movement, Pre-Ballet or Beginning I, II, III.
  • For all ballet classes, hair should be in a bun as length & texture allow (if not in a bun, hair should be pulled back away from face and secured to head). For all other classes, hair can be in a ponytail or secured away from face.
  • No jewelry allowed, except for small stud earrings.
  • Please write your child’s name in all dance shoes
  • Dance shoes should be purchased from a dancewear store such as Bellissimo or Spell’s or website such as dancesupplies.com. Street or house shoes made to resemble dance shoes are not acceptable.

  • Street shoes (shoes that are worn outside) are not permitted on the dance floor.
  • All dance shoes for classes, or ballet booties should not be worn as outdoor shoes.
  • Students should enter and exit the building in street shoes and with cover-ups over their dance clothes to prevent holes and tears in clothing, tracking dirt into the studios and onto the dance floor, and to protect their warm muscles after class.
  • If you are on pointe, please do not put your pointe shoes on unless instructed to do so by your teacher. Do not put your pointe shoes on at home.
