What to Wear this year- 2023-24

We have a studio policy to please cover up your stomach while in class!  We prefer to just focus on dance, cheer and tumbling and not comparing our bodies to other students.  

Tiny Twos and Preschool Dance classes: Pink ballet shoes are required.  Any dance outfit is fine for this class.  Please nothing big and baggy.

All Combo Classes: Tan Turners are required shoes for these classes.  Please see the shoe blog for ordering information. Dancers should wear form fitting dance clothing, not baggy outfits and not school clothing.  Legging, tank tops, leotards, booty shorts, capri pants are all allowed for combo classes.

Turners can be ordered on Amazon by searching "Tan leather turners".  Please to be sure to only order leather (not canvas) and tan (not pink) turners for combo classes, contemporary and all company dance classes.  

Tap classes: the shoe ordering information is on the shoe blog.  Form fitting dance clothing should be worn in tap class.  Please order black tap shoes ASAP so your child has them for classes once they begin.

Flexibility class:  Form fitting Clothing. Stretching blocks are required for this class:

Modern/Contemporary classes: Turners or bare feet. Form fitting dancewear should be worn, nothing big and baggy.

Ballet Classes: Ballet students will be required to wear a leotard and ballet shoes that fit to ballet class each week. The leotard can be any color and style. Pink tights are recommended but not required. NO STRETCH PANTS AND T-SHIRTS anymore in ballet classes. Ballet Skirts, booty shorts, or tightly fitted biker shorts will be optional as well. During the cold months dancers may warm up with jackets and warm leggings for the 1st 10 minutes of class. 

  Hair should be pulled back in a BUN, BUNS, FRENCH TWIST, OR FRENCH BRAIDS. Any bun will do(low, high, 2 buns, messy buns, classic buns, just so hair is secured back)Long ponytails just become a big distraction during turning sections of class so, NO PONYTAILS. If your students hair is shorter than shoulder length they may have a tight ponytail. Please do not send students to class with hair down and a hair elastic on their wrist to pull it back themselves. They just end up playing with their hair all through class and it is often a fight to get them to pull their hair back.

Hip Hop classes: Baggy, clothing that you can move in is appropriate for this class.  All dancewear is acceptable as well.  Sneakers need to be worn in class.  We will be ordering hip hop shoes to go with our costumes for the year, that information will be updated here. 

Jazz classes: Students should wear form fitting dance/athletic wear.  nothing big and baggy

Competition Dancers- Required leggings or shorts and team tank or t-shirt. Turners for classes.  Nothing big or baggy and hair should be up and out of the way.  

Cheer: Cheerleaders should wear form fitting athletic wear that they can move in. Please wear hair up in a pony tail and no jewelry!  All cheerleaders need the shoes below:
