Dress Code
About
The dress code is an important part of dance class that helps each student feel part of
the group. Our goal is to inspire team spirit along with encouraging the focus and
respect for learning the art of dance. Dress code ensures that the teacher is able to see
alignment and positioning of the dancer.
Please Note:
● Capezio Hanami Ballet Slippers will be required for all competitive ballet costumes.
● RAD Ballet students may require additional uniforms and shoes for RAD exam work.
● The studio respects all gender identification and we encourage dancers to choose a uniform that they feel most comfortable wearing. RAD Exam uniforms are specified by The Royal Academy of Dance.
