Have a Blessed Start to the New Year!

Costumes have been ordered and we are looking at an arrival date at the end of February or early March. This should allow time for alterations and size adjustments if needed before the May 5th recital.

Also, a new 8 foot ballet barre was ordered! Now we should all fit at the barre! Thank you for your continued help and support!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dress Code

Dancers should wear leotards and tights to dance class. This allows for greater movement and allows me to observe their body placement and use of correct technique. No specific color will be required, but please keep it conservative to help avoid distraction in class. Younger students may have skirts attached to leotards, but please no large tutus or costumes.

Older students may also wear dance shorts, Soffee type shorts or yoga pants over leotards. Again, please keep colors conservative. Jeans may not be worn.

Hair should be pulled up in a pony tail and away from the face.

Boys
Boys may wear athletic shorts (no mesh) and plain t-shirts for all styles of dance. All boys should wear black tap shoes, black ballet shoes, and black jazz shoes.

Shoes
PK3 through 2nd Grade-pink ballet shoes and white tap shoes. Please make sure white tap shoes have elastic or buckle closure. They should not only be secured with a ribbon tie. See the pictures below for preferred styles. These may be purchased at Target, Payless, Cordova Dancewear and discountdance.com.

3rd grade and up- pink ballet shoes, black jazz shoes, and black tap shoes. See pictures of preferred styles below. These may be purchased at Cordova Dancewear and discountdance.com.
