DRESS CODE & ATTIRE
Dress like a dancer and look and feel like a dancer!
All classes
require appropriate dance shoes and hair pulled back away from the face. Note that tighter fitting attire allows the instructor to assess and correct alignment and technique more readily. Classes noted below have specific requirements other than those in this paragraph.
