Dress Code 

It is important to dress the part in dance class! This helps create equality in the classroom and improves the dancer's focus. Dancers will not be allowed to enter the classroom without being fully prepared for class. Please remember that photographs will be taken at the studio and possibly posted onto social media for marketing purposes, so it is vital that all our dancers are appropriately dressed. 

​
