What do I need for my dancer to start?:
-
Beginners are asked to wear active wear (tshirt, tank top, shorts or leggings). We do not require a specific uniform.

Shoes - dancers are able to begin the year learning in socks before purchasing soft shoes or ghillies. Dancers 5 and under are able to wear black ballet flats before purchasing proper soft shoes. Please see below for details.
