Dancers in our nonprofit dance company need skin tone ballet shoes and jazz shoes for both classes and performances. Acrobatics dancers must wear a leotard to class, and it's recommended to wear leggings or tights to protect the skin from floor burns and injuries. For all other youth dance programs, students can wear whatever dancewear they feel comfortable in! Please ensure that clothing fits well, allowing coaches to see body alignment and technique. Avoid zippers or embellishments that may damage the floor. Students will receive team warm-ups, costumes, and tights after fundraising efforts. We aim to cover all team gear, performance opportunities, competition entry fees, costumes, and any additional expenses through these fundraisers! Students will pay tuition to cover facility use fees, guest choreographers, and staffing.
