Q: What should I wear to class?

A: The dress code for kids ballroom class usually includes comfortable and flexible clothing that allows for ease of movement. For girls, a dress or skirt are appropriate, along with ballroom dance shoes. Boys may wear dress pants with a comfortable shirt and black ballroom dance shoes. It's important that the clothing is not too loose or baggy, as this can make it difficult to see proper alignment and movement during class.

To ensure a distraction-free and safe dance environment, it is recommended that hair be styled in a bun or a folded braid, and secured tightly with multiple hair ties and hair clips. Gel or hairspray can also be used to help keep the hair in place during dance class. It's important to keep hair away from the face so that dancers can maintain proper alignment and movement. To avoid distractions, it's best to keep hair accessories simple, avoiding bows, headbands, or anything that may stick out during class.

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for practices. It makes a difference in their attitude and behavior during the class.
