Frequently Asked Questions
What should I/my student wear for dance class?
We recommend wearing something that allows you to move freely and comfortably but is not too baggy. Some suggestions are athletic wear, leggings, t-shirt, or leotards. Street shoes are not allowed on the dance floor unless a medical or personal need has been communicated to us beforehand.
Footwear - students can dance in bare feet or wear jazz shoes, foot undies, or socks, but be aware the instructor may ask you to remove socks for some exercises in which socks may cause slipping.
Hair - please have your hair up and out of your face (ponytails and braids work great).
What Level Class should I register for?
For questions about which class level you or your student is best suited for, please contact us.
Please note: We reserve the right to change class arrangements depending on enrollment numbers and to ensure the safety of all participants.
