Please read the following Dress Code thoroughly and know the proper requirements for your child's dance studies. Remember: Our qualifications offer a professionalism like no other studio in the area; in keeping, we teach professionalism and a serious attitude toward training in dance. Therefore, we expect our students' adherence to the Dress Code set forth by this studio which is congruent with the historical development of dance, traditional arts studies, and national standards in dance education. For this reason, we suggest you make all dance apparel purchases from retail stores which stock those brands that are ACCEPTABLE for the proper and modest dress for dance studies. Off-brands of body wear and shoes are UNACCEPTABLE and simply encourage a less than professional approach to dance class. A student who does not feel confident in their "look" may not be able to concentrate fully during class. Ill-fitted shoes may cause blisters, calluses and pain too severe to participate. Ill-cut body wear may be too revealing or cause constant pulling and tugging at the garment. A cover-up should be worn entering and leaving the studio. Do not wear dance shoes outside of class.
