I Parents and Students:
Just a friendly
reminder about our dress code. It isnt a very complicated one but it is
essential to learning and getting the most out of your dance experience. With the cold weather all students are
encouraged to come to class dressed warmly but please be prepared to have dance
clothes underneath when you get warmer.
Also it is especially encouraged for
parents to take their young children to the bathroom before class.
Thank
you, Tonya
