GROOMING

Dancers who follow a dress code and are consistently well groomed carry this self-discipline over to all aspects of dance and life.

* All students MUST have a dance bag to store their belongings.
* All belongings MUST be labeled.
* We require, and appreciate, parental reinforcement of our studio dress code.
* No sweaters, please.
* Bodysuits are like bathing suits, therefore no underwear is required.

LONG HAIR

Pre-school, Jazz, Tap, Song & Dance, Acrobatic Dance, Modern ……………… Slick ponytail(s), braid(s), bun
Ballet ………… Slick bun
Hip Hop and Adult Programs ………………… Your choice of neat style off of the face and neck

For shorter hair that falls on the face and neck but can’t be put into a ponytail, please secure it with a fabric hair band and bobby pins.
