REQUIRED ATTIRE

Traditionally the magic of the theatre is kept within the studio walls or behind the proscenium of the theatre stage. Dance practice clothing and costumes are considered inappropriate street wear and under certain circumstances can attract unhealthy, hazardous or unsafe situations. Out of respect for the others and for your own well-being, both young dancers and adult students are asked to wear street clothes and shoes to and from the studio. Shoes must be worn in and around the building.

Students will not be allowed to participate in class without proper attire.

In order for the faculty to offer the highest quality of injury free and anatomically correct instruction, the full anatomy must be seen; therefore no rubber pants, leg warmers, or sweat pants are permitted in any class. For your own safety and the safety of others, no jewelry, other than pierced ear studs, may be worn in class.
