Students should come to class on time and ready to dance:
- All dancers should bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
- Appropriate dance clothing and dance shoes are required.
- All hair must be up – buns are required for all ballet classes. Ponytails (or hair cut above the ears) are required for all other classes. Learn how to make a ballet bun here.
- Please do not wear your dance shoes outside (this includes all hip hop shoes). This helps us keep our studio floors clean for our dancers.
- The dress code will be enforced and is for the benefit of the dancer. Thank you!
