Please purchase all dance shoes from the dance studio or a dance supply store, not Payless or Wal-Mart as they do not have non-slip grips and their taps ruin our floor. The ballet and jazz shoes are not made of leather and do not form to the student’s foot. Students that purchase these shoes will not be allowed to wear them and will be asked to re-buy. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have shoes from a previous year, feel free to wear them in class but you must have the correct style and color come recital time.
Apparel Requirements:
All classes should wear tights. Students may dress in layers until after the warm-up, and then all excess clothing must be removed. It is difficult for teachers to make corrections when the dancers’ bodies are completely covered. No jewelry is allowed.
