DRESS CODE
Our dress code is designed to prepare our students for success in class. It allows them to fully focus on their work in the studio, while providing instructors with a clear perspective on their alignment. Arriving in proper attire creates an atmosphere of professionalism and community while providing an opportunity to demonstrate respect for faculty and craft.
For the 2023-24 year, dancers may continue to wear black or navy leotards and tights that they already own as we transition to the new dress code. Please keep the approved styles in mind when purchasing new dancewear. The approved styles for each program are listed below.
