GENERAL UNIFORM GUIDELINES

When Uniforms Are Required

Students must be in their complete class uniform with the correct shoes by:

Fall Season: First class in October
Winter Season: First class in February

This gives families time at the beginning of each enrollment period to purchase the appropriate attire.

Students Without the Proper Uniform

Students who arrive without the required uniform or shoes may be asked to observe class rather than participate.

Consistent uniform compliance helps instructors maintain a safe, focused, and professional classroom environment.

WHERE TO PURCHASE DANCEWEAR

Younger Dancers

Basic dancewear and shoes can often be purchased from Amazon, Walmart, or Target.

Older & Advanced Dancers

For specialized shoes, tights, leotards, half soles, and other dancewear, we recommend Amazon or a local dancewear store.

Please confirm shoe style and color requirements before purchasing, especially for Intermediate and Advanced classes.

General Dress Code Reminders

All students must arrive dressed and prepared for class. Dance shoes should be labeled with the student’s name and should not be worn outdoors.

Street clothes, jeans, and everyday gym shoes are not permitted in dance classes. T-shirts are only allowed for hip-hop classes. Students who are not dressed appropriately may be asked to observe class.

Questions About Your Dancer’s Uniform?

We understand that dance shoes and attire can vary by class and level. If you are unsure about what your dancer needs, please ask your instructor or speak with the SDDC front desk before purchasing.
