We recommend wearing comfortable stretch clothing that’s not too baggy. Avoid zippers, buttons or jewelry that could get caught while moving. Layering is good to accommodate your temperature and for contemporary dance floor work. Cotton socks are best for contemporary, bare feet also welcome. Ballet slippers are required for ballet performance, but socks are also welcome for class. Classic ballet attire such as leotards and tights are welcome but not required. No outdoor shoes. No wool.  Hair up.

Please plan to arrive early for classes so you may have time to settle in before class, stretch and allow for the unexpected. Please keep in mind we have limited capacity; your spot is only saved if you arrive before your class start time. If you do happen to arrive up to 5 minutes late to your class, we are still happy you made it and you may join your class - space permitting. Take time to prepare yourself and your belongings before entering the studio space quietly. Should a class appear full, make eye contact with the teacher at an appropriate time and wait to be invited in. Always be courteous and mindful not to disrupt or distract your fellow students. For Ballet classes, always wait for a break between exercises.  Look for a true vacant spot, not just the closest place you can squeeze into. Student late more than 5 minutes are missing warm-up which can be a risk for injury, as well as a disturbance to other dancers.

We are dedicated to remaining open if at all possible. In the event of a closure/cancellation we will contact all students signed up for the class. Updates will also be posted on our facebook and instagram page.
