Well Believe it or not - it's time to say "Welcome back to Fall Dance".  Time has surely flown by and we have had a very busy summer at your home of dance.  Our studio was bustling this summer with dance intensive workshops, day camps, as well as our DancEncounter Performing companies and some new specialty company numbers being learned!  Well done to all involved!

 

As we enter our fall session we wish to remind you of a few things..  As any sport or activity that your children participate in - there is an attire or dress code that needs to be adhered by.   Below is a reminder of proper dance attire and we will be looking to see this on all dancers from Pre Ballet and Up.  Please understand that a dancer’s proper hair and attire are a critical part of their training that must be followed for health, hygiene and safety reasons.

 

 

Ballet Class:

 

Hair Up in Buns - secured with bobby pins - no ponytails

 

Solid Black or Pink Leotard

 

Pink Tights

 

Dance shorts are allowed only after the Barre work when dancers come center - Black Ballet shorts only not sport or yoga shorts - solid colors, however ballet skirts are preferred to shorts.

 

Pink Ballet Shoes

 

Jazz, Tap & Hip Hop Classes:

 

Same as above - ponytails are acceptable if hair is not excessively long and will not smack dancers in face

 

Please no T-Shirts

 

Jazz Shoes - Tan preferred - black acceptable

 

Hip Hop Sneakers can be worn in Hip Hop Class - but Jazz shoes are fine

 

Lyrical:

 

Lyrical Sandals/Foot Undeez (thongs)

 

Footless Tights - Pink or Black

 

Solid Color Leotard

 

Dance Shorts are allowed - no sport/yoga shorts

Boys Dancewear: Black/Grey stretch pants or shorts and a solid color t-shirt (black /white/grey)

 

Dancers need to check their dance bags to make sure they have all needed dance shoes - we have had several issues with not having proper shoes in their bag etc.  Please make sure that dancers’ names are marked in their shoes in case they get lost or left behind.

 

**For our Beginning and Advanced Toes dancers - we ask that all hair is pulled up away from face.  Skirts are fine for our young dancers as long as they are not too long to cause a tripping hazard or too bulky.**
