Students who do not come properly dressed to class (including hair) will not be allowed to participate.  Street clothing, sloppy layers, and messy hair distracts students from learning and creates a cluttered atmosphere.

 

Please remember that dancing at any level is an art form and a discipline, and should be treated as such.

 

All students must have proper dance clothing and shoes before your first class!
