DANCE ATTIRE & CLASSROOM GUIDELINES
To make sure everyone can move safely and comfortably:
✅ Wear athletic or movement-friendly clothes (NO jeans; skirts okay with leggings or shorts underneath).
✅ Wear clean sneakers or tennis shoes (NO boots, Crocs, or slippers).
✅ Bring a water bottle (ONLY water allowed in studios).
✅ Use the restroom before class to keep sessions running smoothly.
COMMITMENT & ATTENDANCE
Teamwork makes the dream work! We ask all students to commit to the full program.
📢 If you need to miss a class, please inform your instructor.
❌ More than three absences (over 25% of the program) means a student may not be able to perform at the final showcase. Learning choreography together helps build a strong, supportive dance community! Thank you for being part of the team.
