Dress Code
Abiding by the dress code is imperative for the safety of our dancers and their growth in dance.
There are no exceptions to the dress code and failing to abide to the dress code will result in one warning before parents are contacted.
Necklaces, bracelets, hoop earrings larger than .5", tulle tutus, crowns, plastic headbands, ripped tights, and street shoes are not
permitted in the studio.
Only Dance warmups may be worn. Teachers will ask warm ups to be removed at their discretion.
