Special Notice (Girls/Women/Boys/Men)

Warm up wear (such as leg warmers) is not permitted in any classes
Warm up cross over cardigans will be provided by the school to the 4:30 classes, during cold weather if necessary. Please do not delay classes commencing by wearing T-shirts etc. into the classroom.
All new shoes should be brought to the school and checked before they are worn or elastic sewn on (Soiled shoes cannot be returned). We cannot accept the responsibility of children in class with poor fitting shoes.
Damage & restricted progress can occur to the feet, especially if the shoes are too large.

All students must have correct dancewear and shoes for all classes. If you purchase dancewear outside the studio, please check items with Miss Carter before wearing these items. For recital performances and examination reasons, shoes that vary in colour or tone, heel height or design, or dancewear varying in cut, style or colour cannot be worn for class, examinations or performance.
Great care is often taken to detail all aspects of a recital costume only to have students mismatched footwear detract from the overall affect.
