The dress code is established for a purpose and is mandatory.  The dress code creates uniformity and enables the teacher to see the full lines of each dancer’s body.

• We ask that all students arrive and leave our building in cover-up clothing
• Ballet, Jazz or Tap shoes are not to be worn outside
• No leg warmers, plastic pants, sweat pants, ballet cover-ups or jewelry (stud earrings are allowed) are allowed during class
• Long hair must be worn in a bun or similar style for all classes
• Loose ponytails or loose braids are not permitted
• All hair should be secured with hairpins or bobby pins and a hair net
• Hair accessories should be secure so they do not fall off during class
• Girls with very short hair should secure their hair with a band, held in place with bobby pins, and use hairspray or gel to prevent hair from becoming loose
• All boys must have neat hair, combed out of their face and, if necessary, held in place with spray/gel
• Proper fitting ballet shoes with an elastic strap sewn across the top of each foot
  • The laces on ballet shoes should be tied, trimmed and tucked in the top of the shoe (Please put your names in all dance shoes)
• Students arriving unprepared for class will be asked to sit and observe that class
• Students arriving  for class 15 minutes late without prior notification will be asked to observe class
