Get What You Need to Dress for Success!

WHY A DRESS CODE?

CONSISTENCY

Students learn to follow a weekly routine and structure with their dance classes. The physical preparation with dress code is used as a reminder to mentally prepare for class with focus and a positive mindset.

CHARACTER

Students learn to focus on the attributes within versus appearance as they interact with their peers.

CONFIDENCE

Children are more confident in the classroom when they don't have to worry about what to wear today.

SAFTEY

As our center strives to be safety-conscious for all of our students, having color-coded classes allows us to be prepared for quick head counts in an emergency situation and to better keep track of our students in the event of an evacuation.

THINGS TO NOTE FOR DANCERS:

  • Students should arrive dressed and ready for class.

  • Dancewear should be clean, comfortable, and allow the instructor to clearly see the student's alignment and movement.

  • Hair should be secured away from the face unless otherwise specified.

  • Dance shoes should be used only for dance and should be kept clean.

  • Equivalent dancewear from another brand is acceptable as long as it meets the required color, style, and fit.

  • YPAC recommends Artist Universe Tagless Tights for students who need dance tights. They are available in child and adult sizes and multiple colors.

  • Please check the manufacturer's sizing information before ordering.

  • Please allow adequate time for shipping when ordering dancewear online.

Please review your student's specific class below before purchasing dancewear.
