Dress Code
Our classic dress code helps students focus on the art form and technique in their class. It also helps them learn how to present themselves well and properly prepare for dance. We do enforce the dress code with dress code checks at the beginning of class, so please plan accordingly.
​
We carry a small selection of tights, leotards, and warm-ups in our office, and also have a gently-used dancewear rack to purchase from. For online shopping, you can shop our recommended dancewear at Discount Dance:
*Please see color and style requirements below before purchasing dancewear.
