class dress code
Often when a dancer puts on a costume for the first time, their dance really comes alive. It helps them transform into the character they are meant to be and can take their performance to a new level. In the same way, dressing appropriately for class helps our dancers be focused and give their class work the respect and effort it deserves.
Help your dancer succeed by being sure they’re dressed appropriately for dance class every week. Most recommended dance wear is available for purchase at Dance Concepts.
Competition team members can find their dress code here.
If you have any questions about what is required for your specific class please shoot us an email 🙂
