2026/2027 Shoe List
Weekly Dress Code
- We are huge believers in "look good, feel good, do good". Please make sure your dancer is put together and feeling their best, so we can help them improve every class!
-A leotard and tights are worn for all ballet technique classes & pointe classes. Dance skirts can be worn but are not required.
- A leotard is worn for tots class, preschool class, mini ballet/tap class and jr ballet, jazz and tap class. Colors do not matter for practice. Leggings, shorts, skirts and or tights are all acceptable to add to the leotard, but are not required. We understand that our youngest dancers do not always cooperate when getting ready for dance. We would rather you send them in any type of athletic wear if they are having a bad day. :) Pick your battles and send them happy!
-Tight athletic tank tops/crop tops, leggings/athletic shorts can be worn for level 1, 2, 3, 4 and elite jazz, contemporary, tap, tumbling and acrobatics. Nothing baggy!
- Hip Hop is an exception to the "Nothing baggy" rule. Joggers, t-shirts, sweatshirts, baggy shorts are all acceptable.
-For tumbling classes bare feet are a must, if your dancer is wearing tights please make sure that they can transition into bare feet.
-You can get most of your dance wear online at dancewearsolutions.com, discountdance.com, amazon.com and many other sources.
-Hair must be pulled back off of the face for all classes! No pieces hanging in the face that will distract your dancer. All dancers must keep extra ponytails in their dance bag or locker.
Recital notes:
-
Mini & Jr Tumbling - Please wear your own leotard (any color/style) and light suntan convertible tights (tights will be available to purchase as recital gets closer).

Tips for the parents:
- Make sure all of your dancers items are labeled with their name. Especially shoes and water bottles.
- Make sure your dancer has a dance bag to contain all of their items (dance bags must also have their name).
- Extra ponytail holders are a must for dance bags and lockers.
