Boys: Proper shoes: Tap=Black Bloch shoes Jazz= Black Bloch/Capezio shoes Ballet= Black ballet shoes.
All Classes: Hair must be worn in a controlled fashion away from the face. All dance shoes should not be worn outside the studio space. It is extremely important to only wear tap shoes on the dance floor. Concrete or other hard surfaces will scratch the metal tap, which in turn will scratch the studio dance floors.
In there are any questions concerning dance attire, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you!
