All dancers are required to follow the studio dress code to participate in class:
 

• Hair must be pulled back away from the dancer's face and secured. Loose hair that falls out during class is unacceptable.

• Required dance shoes that have been fitted either at by Dance Experience or a professional dancewear store. All shoes must have the student's last name inside each shoe, in case they are lost or misplaced. Preferred brands include Bloch, Capezio, Balera, and Leo. 

• Warm-ups are allowed in certain classes, but must be FITTED to the dancer’s body. Such as leg warmers, arm-warmers, dance shorts, dance shrugs, etc… 

• NO LOOSE JEWELRY, T-SHIRTS, BAGGY CLOTHING, OR EXPOSED BELLIES. 

• All dancewear must be CLEAN and presentable for class. Dirty leotards and tights are disrespectful, distracting, and demonstrate unpreparedness.
