Girls

• Leotard (any color is fine)
• Tights (black, white, tan, or pink)
• Hair must be up and away from the face.

*Dance skirts and shorts are not required but are permitted in class. Dance pants are permitted in all classes except ballet; we need to be able to see the body aligned properly to prevent injury and bad technique habits. HIP HOP ONLY…may wear anything comfortable but absolutely no denim.

Boys

*Shorts or pants (if taking ballet, shorts are preferred so that we can see what the knees and ankles are doing, no denim)

*T-shirt or tank top (we prefer that they are not extremely baggy to watch for proper back alignment)

Shoes

Ballet – Pink ballet shoes are required for all ballet class. Please make sure that they are not the “house slipper” type that you find with the dance apparel in Wal-Mart and Target. These are not ballet shoes and are very slippery. Boys will wear black ballet shoes.

Tap – Black tap shoes are required for all tap classes. The kind that buckle are preferred but if you get the kind that tie please take the tie out and attach elastic or you can purchase “tap shoe ties” to keep from constantly having to tie shoes during class. Although it is not required, we prefer tap dancers ages 9 and up have the lace up tap shoes (NOT split sole)

Jazz - Black jazz shoes are required for all jazz classes. You can get these in lace up or slip on and either kind is fine.

Hip Hop – Jazz sneakers or black jazz shoes are required.

Lyrical/Contemporary – Dance Paws are required

*Any student not wearing appropriate shoes and clothing will be required to sit out for that week.*
