FOR ALL DANCERS:
All required dress code items must be acquired and worn to class starting no later than the third week of the semester. If not in appropriate dress code, parents/guardians may receive an email from the administrative team.
2026-2027 Dess Code Update:
Revolution Dancewear is now the primary vendor for our school’s dress code.
To purchase items, an account must be created through the third-party vendor, Nimbly. Creating an account is super easy and takes less than 2 minutes.
By purchasing through through Revolution, a portion of the profits goes back into our program. This is a great way to help our program while also helping yourself and your dancer!
Young Children (2+)
Wee Dance & Creative Movement
Fitted dance clothes, such as leotards and tights (footless) of any color, or other garments that allow for easy movement, such as shorts and t-shirts. Children in these levels dance barefoot. Please avoid skirts, as they can get in the way of some movements.
It is imperative for neuromuscular learning that young children dance in bare feet. If part of what brings your child joy about coming to dance class is wearing adorable slippers, please make wearing their special shoes on the way to dance class part of your family's ritual of preparation.

Adults (18+)
Adult dance students don't have to wear a uniform, but we do provide guidance.
For dancing classes to go best, please remember to wear clothes that are comfortable for movement, form-fitting to the extent to which you are comfortable, and refrain from fragranced products. Avoiding fabric softeners helps prevent dangerous slick spots from forming where dancers sit or lie on the floor to warm up.
Jewelry can be dangerous in movement classes, and should come off whenever possible. Please remember that the program cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items, so stow valuables with care before class.
Smart watches and all other electronic devices should be silenced and put in a dance bags before class.
