A little class info...
Dress Code: A dancer’s attire greatly determines the attitude toward their class work. Therefore, we require that the Dress Code is followed at all times. Basic dance attire; leotard, tights or dance socks, skirt/shorts and proper shoes. This is not a difficult dress code to follow; it is the same for any activity that requires a “uniform”- a leotard, tights and skirt are the dancer’s uniform. It's important for dancers to abide by a dress code policy; a neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, instructors, and the art of dance. The code will be enforced for the safety of the dancer as well; the instructor must be able to see the dancer's body outline clearly in order to make proper corrections on posture and alignment. Hair must be up - secured and tied up and off the face and neck. Jewelry must not be worn. Gum chewing or candy is not allowed during class. No loose-fitting pants or sweatpants, blue jeans or t-shirts. It may be necessary for instructors to place their hands on the dancers for proper placement and correction of body alignment, choreography and instructional purposes. Dancers that have completed 2 years of pre-pointe will need to make an appointment at Dance Line to set up a fitting for their pointe shoes. Please note that we do not allow lambs wool “toe pads” it is more comfortable for the dancer to use gel pads.

#5 – Dance bag
Dump out the whole bag, each and every compartment and pocket. Once the bag is empty clean it out or throw it in the washer if it’s washable.
Make three piles on the floor - Keep, Replace & Trash - Don’t put any items back into your bag until all items are sorted.

Check every pair of shoes, for fit and for wear. Have your dancer try on each pair. Make sure the structure of the shoe is stable. Shoes should fit the dancers feet, too small or too big; if your not sure ask an instructor to help your with fit.
