Dress Code
Please write your dancer’s name on all items. Especially shoes.
As in every activity that we participate in, the appropriate dress code is implemented for a reason. For dance, wearing proper dancewear to class allows for ease of movement, as well as providing the teacher with the ability to detect and correct any physical problems dancers may have with their body alignment.
Dancers that are not properly dressed may be told to sit and not participate.
The dress code at DDC will be strictly enforced so all of the dancers will be able to participate to their fullest.
Please remember:
- Proper dance attire only
- No jewelry other than stud earrings is permitted in any classes for the safety of the dancers (ex no dangling earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.).
- Hair needs to be securely pulled back out of the face. Buns are required for all ballet classes.
- Required shoes are mandatory for all classes.
- Sports Bras or cami tanks should be worn under all clothing except for leotards.
