​​Dress Code Guidelines

    Being prepared for class also includes what we wear. In any event, we know that looking the part makes us feel more confident and prepared for the day! We have different classwear for different classes so that we can honor each style of dance in the best way we can and help students be able to better execute each style. Not only that, but safety is very important and our classwear will help the dancer focus on correct body placement to prevent injury in dance and tumbling. For this reason, dancewear must fit tightly to the body and made of spandex fabrics  only (no denim, netting, lace, fringe, etc.). Undergarments, if worn, must not be able to be seen. 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 ponytail using multiple thick hair ties, bobby pins (if needed), and hairspray! This will help lessen possible discomfort or issues during turns and tricks. Hair must be in a clean Ballet bun for Ballet. No extra hair accessories including scrunchies or any type of jewelry, can be worn during class. 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 athletic stores or through our seasonal dancewear book. If your student is non-binary, please email us to discuss which classwear option is best for them. Thank you for respecting our policies!
