General Guidelines
Hair
All dancers should have their hair secured away from the face. For ballet and pointe classes, a neat bun is required. Bobby pins and hair nets help keep hair secure during movement.
Jewelry
For safety reasons, no jewelry should be worn during class. This includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Small stud earrings may be permitted at instructor discretion.
Dance Shoes
Dance shoes should only be worn in the studio, never outside. This keeps our floors clean and your shoes in good condition. Please bring a bag for street shoes.
Where to Purchase Dance Attire
Dance shoes are available for purchase directly through Moves Dance Studio, and we strongly encourage all students to order through us. This allows us to ensure proper sizing, correct shoe style, and appropriate color for each class. Our front desk team is happy to assist with fittings and recommendations to make sure your dancer is fully prepared.
