Dress Code

General Rules for Everyone

We ask for all students to have their legs covered, either by tights, leggings, or athletic pants, depending on the class genre.

Hair should normally be pulled back for all classes, with the exception of hip hop and contemporary classes, while a bun is required for ballet classes.

No bare feet, except for contemporary class. Only wear clean shoes on the dance floors; do not track mud or rocks onto the floors.

We ask that all students have their stomachs covered.
