DRESS CODE DETAILS

 

General Notes​

  • If items on the dress code list are backordered please contact us for assistance.

  • SHOES

    • Tap shoes for ages 7 and under MUST be velcro. No ribbon tie tap shoes.

    • Ballet shoes must be pink for girls (or flesh tone when matching with darker flesh tone tights) and black ballet shoes for boys. Please see the dress code lists via the links below for details.

  • APPAREL NOTES

    • Tights MUST be DANCE specific tights - not dress tights that your dancer wears under a special occasion dress.

    • Wrap skirts that tie are not permitted for any classes EXCEPT pointe class (older students). If the skirt ties around the waist and can fall down, then it is NOT approved.

    • Students in AcroTumble MUST wear a leotard with shorts/leggings or biketard. Baggy t-shirts are not permitted for safety reasons.

    • Undergarments should not be visible at the bottom of a leotard, and most dancers choose not to wear underwear under their tights and leotards. If you do need to wear them, please wear a flesh colored bottom with a higher cut leg.

    • Adolescent and adult dancers may need additional support in the form of a dance bra, a sports bra, or for gentlemen a dance belt (like an athletic cup, but without the hard plastic). We’d be happy to connect you with resources about sizing.

  • HAIR/JEWELRY

    • ​All hair must be pulled back away from the face. Buns are REQUIRED for ballet and pointe classes.

    • Please leave jewelry at home. Necklaces, bracelets, Apple Watches, rings, and dangling earrings are not allowed to be worn during class as a safety measure. Studs in the ears are fine. No Apple Watches are allowed. Please leave those at home as they can be a distraction during class.

  • SAFETY

    • In an effort to keep your dancer safe, they may be asked to sit and observe class if they are not properly dressed for class

    • Students must enter and exit the building with street shoes and a cover-up over leotards and tights. Dancers MAY NOT wear their uncovered dance uniform or dance shoes when entering/exiting the building.

​​BALLET CLASSES

All Ballet Classes have a required COLOR leotard from Nimbly as their UNIFORM and required type of shoes. All items are available on our Nimbly Dress Code Website via the links provided below. The specific leotard is not optional and cannot be purchased on Amazon or another site as the colors do not match. Our ballet uniform requirement is similar to apparel requirements for other extracurricular movement activities. Think of it like a cheer uniform or baseball uniform where you are required to purchase a specific jersey/pants/top, etc from a specific company/brand/manufacturer for everyone to look uniform, professional, and polished.
