I.S. 234 DANCE PROGRAM ATTIRE:

Come to school prepared on the days you have dance!

*Please make sure these items fit well and you are able to move your best in them.

Baggy clothing makes it difficult to see the body, how it moves, and make physical corrections.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION!!!

Dancers will remove shoes and socks and dance barefoot. This is for the safety of all students in the studio and to encourage proprioception. If a student owns or is interested in purchasing dance footwear (ex. a half sole dance shoe), please speak with Ms. Brown. If necessary, a dance student may wear a dance "grip sock" however barefoot is preferred for proprioception purposes.
Jewelry should be removed before class, hair should be pulled away from the face and all students should be aware of self-care and personal cleanliness.
Unprepared: Being unprepared affects the student’s grade. Please review the ATTIRE RUBRIC!
All dancers are encouraged to wear the 234 Dancewear!

Performance Related (Stage):

Be mindful that for performance you will most likely need black leggings or bottoms and possible tops so it is best if you purchase ahead of time. Please do not purchase items with logos (writing) for performance. Solid Black works best for the stage!
On stage, dancers will be barefoot unless a specific shoe is requested or loaned.
Performance Costumes: A costume plan for each class/dance will be addressed at least a month before performances so you have time to gather your costume items and or be loaned items from the costume closet.
