DANCE ATTIRE
Karen Clark Dance Studio

DANCE ATTIRE
The RAD Ballet Exam dancers please follow the R oyal A cadely D ance (listed below) Ballet Exam class dress requirements exactly. For other studio classes it is not our intention to have families buy all new items.  If you have something that still fits you and does not match our colours you may still wear it.  When you go to purchase new dance attire we request you follow these quide lines.  Sloppy clothing, hair not tied up and improper dance footwear means that you are not welcome to take class.  Being dressed accordingly is part of dance discipline.   The studio sells Karen Clark  Dance Studio flairs, capri pants, body suits, dance tank tops, hoodies, dance bags and studio jackets.  We also have the bodysuits and the character skirts for the RAD ballet exam classes.  If you are interested please check with the studio office.  Dance bags are an easy way for dance gear to stay together.   Please put your name on your bag and all your dance shoes.  We look forward to seeing you looking your best.
