All Other Styles: Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop/Cheer & Poms, Tap, Ballroom
*Dancers must have full range of movement (no jeans allowed). Dancers must be able to complete all movement without pulling on clothing or worrying about exposure
*ALL Jazz classes can use bare feet, “paws” or jazz shoes
*Contemporary is usually bare feet, “paws”, or socks for older age groups.
*Hip Hop/Poms shoes should not be worn in from the parking lot. Dancers will need a separate pair of shoes for dancing (tennis shoe recommended).
*Tap shoes any style. We request that dancers NOT wear their tap shoes in the parking lot.
*Ballroom, TDM will email those on the roster with specifics.
Ultimately it is at the discretion of the teacher to decide what is appropriate attire for their classroom (ie: some teachers allow socks for contemporary and some do not).
Hair must be pulled up and secured out of dancer’s face.
