For performances all dancers who are in multiple classes should have a skin tone-colored leotard to wear as a base layer under costumes.

We ask that dancers wear a leotard underneath all clothing, with no bare midriffs and no bra straps or other undergarments showing.

 

We know that families invest a great deal in their dancer and we appreciate it! We choose the same required footwear for class use as they will need for performances so that you do not need to purchase additional items. We also strongly recommend that each dancer purchase a solid black camisole leotard for class and performance wear.

***PLEASE NOTE:  The pink satin “slippers” found at Walmart and Target are NOT ballet shoes. Please do not purchase these for class wear. Please do not wear dance shoes outside, save them for the dance floor.  All classes, no matter the genre require leotards to be worn in class.  Please, no jewelry in class.
