At Dance Amour, our dress code is in place to ensure dancers are wearing proper attire for learning, come mentally prepared to learn, and to establish unity within classes. We encourage modesty in dress and actions so that the focus of our classes and performances can be on the dancers and their talents, rather than on showcasing their bodies. Our promise to you is that the costumes we use in the recital will always be modest, having sleeves and midriffs covered. However, the leotards that dancers choose to wear to class are not required to have sleeves.
All students are required to wear proper dance attire. 

All shoes and dancewear can be ordered through the studio. If you need to order shoes, please call and schedule a shoe fitting to ensure we order the correct size. 

Combo classes: Hair must be secured up and away from the face. Dancers may wear a leotard or dance dress, tights, leggings, skirts, etc. They need the appropriate shoes PINK ballet shoes and BLACK tap if taking a ballet/tap/jazz/tumbling class. Boys in combo classes need BLACK ballet shoes and Black tap shoes if his combo class has tap.
