Dress Code
The Dress Code exists to allow maximum movability and comfort, while helping students gain a sense of professionalism and confidence. It limits classroom distractions and aids in injury prevention, allowing children to focus and cultivate a respect and for the classroom and performance arts institution.
We ask that dancers with hair long enough to be pulled back wear it pulled off of face.
Please note: Summer classes/camps do not follow the school year specifications.
