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, students are expected to wear their hair in a neat ballet bun for all ballet classes and a neat ponytail for all Hip Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary Jazz, and Stretch and Conditioning classes.

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.
