DRESS CODE

Our dress code is designed so teachers can see the dancer’s body lines, including posture, arms, legs and feet. Dancers will get the most out of their classes when the dress code is followed. 

• Long hair should be worn up either in a tight ponytail or bun, OR any style that has it secured away from the face.

Mommy & Me, Creative Movement, and Preschool classes

Leotard, dance dress, or tutu of any color with solid flesh toned tights is appropriate for any PRIMA program class. Pink or flesh colored ballet shoes for girls, black ballet shoes for boys. Classes that have tap or jazz as a combo would need dancers to wear tan jazz shoes, and black tap shoes (all sold in Primadonnas).

Level 1-5 Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Musical Theatre

All Ballet classes dancers must wear tights and a leotard with hair pulled away from their face (preferably in a bun). Leotards for level 1-5 dances can be patterned, colored, or solid.  It is easiest for dancers who have several styles in one day to wear the same leotard and tights for all classes and just change their shoes. They can also put shorts, leggings, or Capri pants over their leotard for tap and jazz if they wish.. A one piece biketard or unitard is also acceptable. Two piece dance outfits are acceptable for all styles except ballet. All pants should be form-fitting (not baggy) and not touch the floor. Fitted dance shirts or tanks are permitted. *Dancers must have the correct style shoes for each style they take (please see shoe section below).
