Dance Classes - Required Attire

Proper Dance Attire

Proper attire unifies the student body and allows the teacher to best instruct each student. The following guidelines for attire are required. Regardless of class, please no jewelry, gum or street clothes. Please no writing or design on any attire unless it is the Allegro Logo. Hair must be pulled back away from the face and secured in a bun if enrolled in Ballet 2 or higher. T-shirts, sweatshirts, warm ups and outer wear need to be removed before class begins. If you do not have proper attire for class you will be asked to sit and watch. If you continually do not have proper attire, you may be asked to leave. Those over the age of 21 or enrolled in adult classes have exception to the dress code.
