Frequently Asked Questions

We have a dress code.  The simple leotard and tights make it possible for the instructors to see  the dancers' bodies so they can make the proper corrections.  Baggy clothing inhibits the instructor’s ability to make corrections.  We ask that the dancers do not wear ballet skirts, baggy shirts or jewelry during classes.

**For hip hop, leotard and tights recommended, with leggings, shorts, sweat pants, tank tops and shirts pulled over are okay.
