DANCE ATTIRE:
Dancers must wear appropriate dance clothes to class. Warm-up clothes are permitted, but must be taken off when the dancer is “warm”.

No baggy clothes, shorts, or t-shirts will be permitted! All dancers are required to wear leotard and tights or jazz pants or shorts to classes. 

It is too difficult to give the proper corrections if the instructors cannot see the dancer’s bodies if your dancer has other activities before or after class, please do not send them in street clothes. Bring a change of clothes in their dance bag. 

Faculty will ask a student to sit out and observe class if proper dance attire is not worn. 


SHOES
Dancers are required to wear the proper shoes to each class. All jazz shoes or lyrical shoes should be tan. Modern shoes are at the discretion of the teacher and may be no shoes at all. Ballet shoes should be pink leather. Tap shoes should be jazz style (looks like a gore boot) and black (If you choose shoes with ties please buy tap buttons). Other colors are acceptable for class use only.

Mommy and me and 3-6 combo classes must put elastic in your dancer’s tap shoes that have ties. You may purchase tap buttons at www.discountdance.com or at any dance store. It’s easier for the dancer to put them on, and there are no shoelace problems during class. Any time spent tying shoes is time taken away from class. 

Dance shoes should be worn inside only. Wearing dance shoes outside will ruin the shoe and bring in dirt to the dance floor. Please put your dancer’s name in their shoes as it’s easy to get them mixed up. Masking tape on the bottom of tap shoes and a sharpie marker on jazz and ballet shoes is an easy way to uniquely identify shoes.

Gossiping
Gossiping about other children or teachers is not tolerated at MC Dance Academy, and if it is heard, you will be asked to leave the studio and forfeit all moneys paid.
