Dance shoes are very important for class. Often we allow students to go barefoot for certain dances. Your child needs to come prepared with all of there proper dance shoes at all times no excuses any more. Leave them in a locker if you are forgetful, or make arrangements with an instructor.
Tights are important, Black, nude or pink only no exceptions,no tights no dance. I have been very lenient with the studio, and unfortunately things get taken advantage of.
