Dress Code
For the dancer’s safety, teachers will ask students to watch class if they are not dressed appropriately. Dance is a discipline, and like any sport, participants must dress in proper “gear.” DRESS CODE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. Similarly, Apprentice and Company members will NOT be allowed to wear socks. Ballet or pointe shoes must be worn by these students or they will be asked to watch class. No exceptions.
Ballet Attire: In order to participate in class, it is required that students arrive with the proper dance attire, hair style and shoes. Teachers must be able to see that the student’s alignment is correct. Students are required to wear a leotard in their designated class color, tights and ballet shoes. Hair must be pulled up away from the face and off of the neck in an appropriate ballet bun. No street clothes are allowed. Skirts, shorts or sweaters can be worn only with the permission of the instructor.
Optional Class Attire: We ask that you wear a leotard under jazz pants or leggings. Shirts and skirts may be worn in specialty classes, as long as they are not loose on the body.
HDT has set up a school page on Discount Dance Supply’s website where proper leotard styles and colors are available, as well as the required shoes. Website: www.discountdance.com HDT Code: TP36909
