Dress Code
Getting ready to dance
Why is it important to wear proper dance attire?
In order to be a dancer, it helps to feel like a dancer! Dressing the part always makes you feel more confident and ready to do your best. Just like any other sport where the appropriate uniform and protective gear is necessary, dance requires certain clothing, shoes and accessory rules in order for your child to learn to their best capacity.
