Dress Code
Beginning in the fall of 2023, each class level (Creative Movement, Ballet/Tap Combo, Primary A, Primary B, and Levels I-V) will have a required class leotard or fitted t-shirt. Additionally, hip hop classes (Primary A, Primary B, 8-12, and 13+) will have a required shoe for class. These items can be purchased from our front desk or from our dress code shop online here. All items will be available for you to pick up at the studio.
Additional items, including skirts, shoes, and tights, may also be purchased through our dress code store. You are welcome to purchase those items through us, or visit our friends at Kinney Dancewear at 146th Street and Hazel Dell. They have our dress code on file, you just need to tell them where you dance! You can also support the studio by purchasing from DiscountDance.com and using the teacher code 128259 at checkout.
Please note that while our dress code differentiates “Option A” and “Option B,” dancers are welcome to choose the style of dress they prefer for each class. We want each student to feel happy, confident, and comfortable in their dancewear. Questions? Contact us and we’re happy to help!
