Are you dressed for dance class?

 

It is very important to be dressed properly for dance class. Not only is it important to be able to move comfortably, but it’s also respectful towards your teacher and the other students in class. Jeans are NOT to be worn in any classes and all ballet classes require a leotard and tights.
