Dress Code

 We ask that your child be properly attired for class.  All children should wear comfortable, loose clothing such as skorts, shorts, t-shirts, etc…   It is important that your knees are visible for class.  In colder weather, shorts can be worn underneath sweats that can be removed once the dancer is warmed up.  Hair should be pulled back out of the face.  

             We ask that no short shorts, spaghetti strap tank tops, bare midriffs, or other revealing clothing be worn.We seek to dress modestly in our classes and we ask that you use your best discretion to that end. 

              All children should wear socks and the traditional Irish gillies or ballet slippers.  New students may wear just socks until proper foot attire can be purchased.  The floor of the studio is unfinished wood and it is wise to have some type of foot wear.
