PROPER DANCE ATTIRE IS ESSENTIAL TO RECEIVE THE FULL BENEFIT OF YOUR DANCE CLASS!
Teachers and students must be able to see the full bodyline in order to apply corrections properly. Black leotards, either camisole, tank,cap or long sleeves (no short sleeves) and pink tights are required for all intermediate through advanced ballet classes. Black dance attire is required for all intermediate and advanced jazz, MTV, and lyrical jazz classes. If needed all support bras MUST be black. Dance pants should be Capri length and form fitting to the knee. Tap requires pants to be Capri length to expose ankles and hip-hop attire is at the discretion of the teacher.
NO dance skirts, big shirts, baggy pants or shorts will be allowed in class, with exception of hip hop. Body warmers are allowed if they conform to the body, and the teacher permits. The ankles of the dancer should be exposed for ALL dance disciplines.
Male Dancers: Proper dance clothes are recommended; however,a plain white or black tank, or tee shirt, and form fitting dance pants or sweat pants are acceptable.
Shoes: Pink ballet and pink pointe shoes are required for all ballet classes. Black shoes are required for all tap, jazz, and MTV. "Foot Undies" may be required for lyrical classes. A supportive sneaker is required for hip- hop. Occasionally, the instructor may request a color preference to compliment the costume.
For Your Convenience: Approved dance wear and shoes may be purchased at Talent Forum. Leotards, tights, ballet shoes,tap shoes, and jazz shoes are available. If you do purchase dance shoes elsewhere, please have the director or your teacher check the fit before you sew on any elastic. It is especially important that the ballet teacher check pointe shoes.
