What to Wear to Class

We stock a limited inventory of leotards and shoes, and we will always have tights in stock. Students can be sized for shoes in the studio and orders can be placed from our on-line boutique by clicking the "Shop Now" buttons below. 


Dress Code

Helpful Tip

If your dancer is enrolled in a Twirl & Groove class be sure their tights are "convertible" meaning they can be worn over the foot and then pulled up for the Groove portion of class.

Dress Code

Helpful Tip

Everyday undergarments should not be visible under leotard and tights. Instead, choose options that are meant for athletics. Keep in mind many times leotards and tights have the appropriate lining in lieu of an undergarment.

Dress Code

Helpful Tip

If your dancer is enrolled in Acro, it's best if they wear a leotard or dance set without tights. Tights can make spotting difficult because they are slippery.

Dress Code

Helpful Tip

For Hip Hop, choose attire that is loose and easy to move in. Don't be afraid to personalize your style and wear something that will help you feel confident in class!

Dress Code

Helpful Tip

Boys should wear a sleeveless or short sleeve shirt that allows for movement. Boys may also want to consider a dance belt under tights, fitted pants, and shorts.
