Attention Summer Session Dancers - Ballet and Jazz shoes are not required for pre-ballet/jazz and ballet level 1 classes. Please come barefoot.
Why is there a dress code at Norwalk Dance Center?
-The simple leotard, tights, and skirt combination makes it possible for the instructors to see the dancer’s bodies so they can make the proper corrections.
-Young dancers are often distracted by their own dance wear. -Learning to dance and work together as a team can be more easily achieved by removing the distraction of different dance wear.
Students may not participate in class if dress code is not followed. Exceptions are:
Hair: Ballet - Hair must be in a secure bun. NO EXCEPTIONS.
All other students must have hair pulled back in a pony tail for long hair and in a head band for short hair
