DRESS CODE
Appropriate dance clothing must be worn in class at all times. We carry all dance wear for your convenience. Only pink ballet shoes and suntan tap shoes are allowed for performance in the combination classes. Black tap oxford shoes are required for the upper-level tap class. Advanced Jazz dancers and members of the Repertoire Ensemble may need to purchase additional performance shoes. We recommend Grand Jete at 975 Grand Avenue in St. Paul (651-227-0331) and Step N Stretch at 13903 Aldrich (952 882-8300) when you need to purchase dance wear that we do not supply.
