Age-level appropriate colored leotard without tights or shoes – shorts and leggings are allowed as well as long as they are tight-fitted. 

Ballroom

Any colored leotard, skirt optional and pedinis, character shoes or ballroom shoes. We recommend these shoes from Amazon. 

Hip Hop

Students may wear anything they’d like for hip hop – as long as you can dance in it! No bare bellies, offensive sayings and no jeans! In the winter, please bring your sneakers and change into them before class, otherwise you trail salt, sand and wetness into the studios.

Adults

Leotards are NOT required. Comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear!

In the colder months, dancers are welcome to wear form-fitting black longsleeve t-shirts or sweaters and black sweatpants for warm-up only. Dance Sweaters are allowed at all times.

In the summer session, dancers of all ages are welcome to wear colored leotards to class.
