Dress Code Guidelines



ALL DANCERS No dangling jewelry please, hair pulled off face, no gum & remember: THE STUDIO IS A WATER ONLY FACILITY! (no sodas, coffee, juice, etc.) Your water bottles are welcome to join you in the classrooms.

Future Stars & Sparklers The only requirement for our young dancers is a QUALITY DANCE SHOE please. The local discount stores are mislabeling play slippers as official dance shoes. Any color and/or style of dancewear is fine. Keep in mind, the kids turn upside down during stretches & tumbling and need body-hugging clothes.

Ballet No foot thongs during barre work. Ballet slippers only, any color. Clean lines preferred for ballet class. Ballet skirts welcome for all but Brigitte's class. (see below) Hair pulled back.

Lyrical Foot thongs or ballet slippers. Bare feet okay for our "Barefoot Modern" classes! Hair pulled off face and clean lines preferred. Ballet skirts welcome.

Tap Dance clothes please! Absolutely NO street clothes; jeans, skirts, etc. This is DANCE class! Work out wear is great. Be aware if your class is a combo class with tumbling, then body hugging tops are prudent. Second year tappers and above: tap OXFORDS only.

Tumbling/Acrobatics Gymnastic "booties" only please. Absolutely NO bare feet on the mats! No foot thongs, roman sandals nor jazz shoes please. Any color gymnastic bootie is fine. Body hugging dancewear a MUST for safety when being spotted on stunts as well as remaining "covered up" when upside down. Hair styled so that you can stand on your head or do a front roll without it hurting.

Hip Hop If the class is Hip Hop ONLY, then hip hop style clothes are fine; baggy pants, etc. Hip Hop sneaker or jazz shoe please. Try to keep baggy & loose to a minimum so the teacher can see what you are doing!

Jazz/Hip Hop Combo Jazz shoe or hip hop sneaker please. NO street shoes. Jazz pants or work out clothes. NO JEANS OR BAGGY STREET CLOTHES.

Jazz & Technique Your choice for footwear! Jazz oxford or sneaker, ballet shoe, foot thong, etc. NO STREET SHOES. Ask the teacher before dancing completely barefoot. Any color dancewear; clean lines please.

Adult Classes The appropriate shoe please. Aside from that, as long as you feel comfortable & can move freely, it's fine!

Brigitte's Ballet Ballet slippers ONLY! No foot thongs or bare feet. NO ballet skirts. Clean lines only but leos not required. Hair pulled back.
