Dress Code

---

Our dress code is an important part of creating a focused and safe learning environment for our dancers. Proper dance attire allows our teachers to clearly see alignment and movement, provide effective corrections, and ensure that dancers can move safely and comfortably throughout class. Coming to class dressed appropriately also encourages dancers to take pride in their training and helps set the tone for the work we do together in the studio.

Our official studio color is periwinkle, and we encourage our dancers to wear it proudly whenever possible! ♡

Please note: Sweatpants, flared yoga pants, street shoes, and casual clothing of any kind are not permitted in the studio. All ballet and pointe dancers must have their hair pulled back in a neat ballet bun before each class. In all other classes, hair should also be styled in a neat bun, braid, or similar up-do. Dancers with very short hair should pin their hair away from the face or slick it back as best as they can. Additionally, large or dangly jewelry should be removed prior to every dance class.
