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.
