In the Studio
-
Dress code varies by class and level. For Preschool, Primary, and Academy classes, dancers wear standardized classwear (leotard or class shirt with appropriate tights/shorts) along with the correct dance shoes. These items can be purchased through the studio or online store.
We offer two uniform style options so dancers can choose what helps them feel most comfortable and confident while still maintaining a clean, unified look for training.
Teen/Adult dancers may wear movement-friendly attire that allows instructors to see proper alignment.

For that reason, we do not allow parents in the studio space during classes, but we have live video feeds into each studio available to watch in the lobby. We also offer designated Parent Parent Participation Weeks throughout the year so you can see your dancer shine. -
Safety first!
If we close due to weather, we will notify families via email and social media.
Sick or absent dancers are welcome to schedule a make-up class when they feel better. -
