DANCE STUDIO ATTIRE
Appropriate dance attire for each class is listed below. Please do your best to be prepared on the first day of class. Students dressed inappropriately for class may not be permitted to participate.
For your convenience, we have also listed several places where you can buy dance shoes and other supplies. If you have any questions, please contact Angella Foster at afosterdance@gmail.com
We strongly recommend that all students write their name on the inside of their dance shoes. It is also a good idea to label any dance warm-ups such a ballet skirts or leg-warmers. Any items left in the studio will be placed in the Community Center’s lost and found. To claim lost items, check with the welcome desk attendants in the Community Center’s main lobby. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
