Dress Code

Although dance is an art of expression and creativity, we do have some light dress codes at our studio. Not only is following the dress code respectful to your instructors, wearing appropriate dance attire can prevent unnecessary injury and unify the dancers at the studio as a whole.

Attire of any sort that portrays offensive remarks, alcohol, tobacco or drugs is strictly prohibited. Your dancer will be asked to change in order to participate in class.

We understand that purchasing tap shoes can be expensive especially when your dancers are in their prime stages of growth. However, we would like to emphasize the importance of purchasing good quality over inexpensive tap shoes that have stiff plastic soles and make your dancers learning experience more difficult and perhaps discouraging. The quality of our tap shoes make a big difference in the sounds your dancer will create with them.

Please continue to donate your outgrown tap shoes to the studio so they may be passed down to younger students in need. THANK YOU!
