Dressing in the same colour - is important. When you go to purchase new dance attire we request you follow these guidelines.  Sloppy clothing, hair not tied up and improper dance footwear is very difficult for our dancers and may result in not excelling in class.  Being dressed accordingly is part of dance discipline.
