Note on shoe requirements:  The shoes noted are the shoes required for Recital.  You do not need to purchase new shoes for class just to match a color or style requirement unless required for Recital at the end of the year. For instance, if the required shoe for your jazz class is a tan slip-on and you already have a black pair that still fit — it’s fine to use those for class until it’s time for you to purchase a new size or required for Recital.

All students are required to wear appropriate dance attire.  Close-fitting clothing permits instructor to see problems and make corrections. No bracelets, dangling earrings, necklaces, or watches. Hair must be tied back away from face (we suggest a ponytail or bun for long hair, dancers with shorter hair should pin back sides away from face).
