Classroom Attire

Every dancer is required to wear proper dance class attire to class. Dance attire teaches discipline and enables your Gotta Dance Educators to see your dancers’ positions and movement in order to give necessary corrections for the benefit of your dancer’s education.

Please follow your class level’s dress code and enter class with your hair pulled back off your face. Beginning in October, dancers who are not dressed in class attire will be asked to watch class instead of participating.
