Class Dress Code

Class preparation

Dress with confidence. Train with purpose.

Proper dancewear helps instructors see alignment, supports safe movement, and allows dancers to focus on learning and growth.

Every dancer should arrive fully prepared.
Dress code includes clothing, footwear, and hair. Shoes should be reserved for dance class and should not be worn outdoors.
