Dress Code Guidelines
     Dancewear MUST fit tightly to the body, this is very important to ensure correct body placement and prevent injury. Spandex Fabrics only, no denim, netting, lace, or fringe. Undergarments, if worn, must NOT show. Short thin socks should be worn with all shoes except Ballet shoes of which pink tights will be worn instead. Hair should be pulled back tightly in a one high ponytail, with a bun for ballet, with AT LEAST 2 thick hair ties, bobby pins (if needed), and hairspray! Not only is it highly important to have a polished look and be prepared for training, this will also help prevent discomfort or issues during turns and tricks. No extra hair accessories, earrings, jewelry, can be worn during class or performance. Fingernails must stay short for safety purposes. Dancers not wearing proper clothing may be asked to view class only. All Items with prices listed next to them are REQUIRED to be purchased through Artistic Intensity, any other items can be purchased individually at local stores or through our seasonal AIDC dancewear book. If your student is non-binary, please email us to discuss which dance wear option is best for them. Thank you for respecting our policies!
