Dancewear & Grooming Requirements
To ensure safety, comfort, and freedom of movement, please ensure dancers wear appropriate clothing to all classes. We want dancers to feel confident and empowered in what they wear while allowing teachers full visibility for safe technique correction.
Please do not wear: denim, short skirts, or any revealing or restrictive clothing that may limit movement or comfort.
Hair: Long hair must be tied back and secured away from the face for all classes.
