At CSD, we believe that by wearing appropriate class wear it gives students a sense of belonging to our family as well as creating an identity for our studio in the greater community.
 
Dress Codes also:
•                 Encourage discipline
•                 Help students resist peer pressure to buy stylish clothes for class
•                 Help identify non-students in the studio
•                 Diminish economic and social barriers between students
•                 Increase a sense of belonging and school pride
•                 Improve attendance
 
All students should abide by the studio dress code. 

1. For Ladies:
   • For Ballet, all girls must wear tights (preferably pink), pink ballet shoes, a solid-colored leotard (black or pink is preferred), and hair should be neatly secured in a bun (no ponytails).  ONLY tights, leotard and ballet shoes should be worn for ballet.
   • All other dance classes REQUIRE leotards and tights or jazz pants/ booty shorts or sports bra and shorts.  Clothes should not be too loose. 
   • Acrobatics students should wear a leotard or clothing to cover their stomach when turning flips.
   • Hair must be pulled back away from the face for all classes. 
   • No dangling jewelry should be worn.
   • Jeans or street wear are not acceptable.
   • Tan Tap shoes for tap (certain classes are black, please ask before purchasing), black clogging shoes, tan jazz shoes, foot paws for contemporary. (Unless otherwise requested by teacher)
2. For Gentlemen:
   • All dance classes require jazz or sweatpants and a shirt that is form fitting. 
   • Loose, baggy clothing is not acceptable.
   • Jeans or street wear are not acceptable.
3. Dance Attire:
   • The leotards, tights, shoes, and buns associated with ballet and dance all serve multiple practical and aesthetic purposes and ensure that the dancer’s hair will not be in her line of vision and impede her while spotting turns.  It also creates a line by making the neck look longer.  Leotards give the teacher a better view of the dancer’s muscles and body, while offering coverage while raising legs high in the air.  In other words, there is a reason that we require certain types of dancewear so be sure that your child attends class in appropriate dance attire, shoes, and hair. 
4. Students should arrive dressed according to the dress code and with all necessary hair accessories and shoes in the dance bag.  Please ensure all parts of your child’s dance apparel and shoes are clearly labeled - individual shoes, socks, underpants...you’ll be amazed at the amount of lost property we generate!

• All shoes should have the child’s name written in them. 
• The staff assumes no responsibility for lost, stolen, or misplaced items.
•  We do try to keep a lost and found box in case we do find items, so we recommend that you check the box for lost items. Lost and found items will be emptied on the 1st of each month.
