Hair and Attire
In order to be a dancer, it helps to feel like a dancer! Proper attire, shoes, and hair is a must for good training, so the dancer has freedom of movement and the teacher can see the dancers‘ positions and movement in order to give necessary corrections.
Hair is to be pulled up off the neck. If hair is too short, it must be pulled back on the sides with bobby pins or clips.

- Tap/Jazz Ballet Combo: Any style or color leotard. Skirts allowed if above the knee. Hair pulled up off the face in secure ponytail. Ballet & Tap shoes are required. No bare feet or socks with no shoes. No Crocs.
