DRESS CODE / Class AtTire
Below is a list of supplies that are needed for each level of dance. In addition to the proper dance attire, female students are required to wear their hair in a neat ballet bun for all ballet and pointe classes and a neat ponytail for all Hip Hop, Contemporary, Jazz, Musical Theatre and Stretch and Conditioning classes. As for male dancers we require that hair be secured off the face and neck in order not to interfere with the execution of turns and jumps.
Proper hair etiquette, as well as proper dance attire, is essential for all dance classes. A sloppy appearance will not be tolerated as it has a definite negative impact on the entire learning experience in dance class.
The VILLAGE DANCE SHOPPE, located next door to The Dance Center, has the complete list of all approved dance attire required for all classes.
