The Dress Code

We are not just a studio, we are a community who shares the love for movement

  • Hair neatly up in a ponytail, out of dancer’s face
  • No jewelry should be worn to class except stud earrings in pierced ears.
  • Ballet shoes should have a stretch binding, eliminating the need for the drawstring. If a drawstring is used, please pull it out of the shoe. This helps to avoid dancers tripping on elastics and teachers spending time on tying them.
  • Dancers ages 10 and up must bring a water bottle with them to class.
