ATTIRE GUIDELINES
At MOTION DANCE MOVEMENT, we believe dancers perform their best when they feel comfortable, confident, and free to move. Our dress code supports safety, mobility, and self-expression while maintaining professionalism and discipline in the classroom.
-
Dancers should wear non-restrictive clothing that allows for full range of motion.
Outfits should be form-fitting enough for instructors to observe alignment and technique (especially in styles like ballet, jazz, and acro).Hair should be pulled back neatly and securely away from the face.
No jewelry or accessories that could be distracting or cause injury.
-
Loose-fitting, street-style clothing (sweatpants, joggers, T-shirts, etc.).
Clean sneakers with non-marking soles are required—no street shoes on the dance floor.
Avoid tight clothing that restricts hip-hop-style movement.
-
Tight-fitting attire such as leotards, unitards, or snug tank tops and leggings/shorts.
No loose clothing that may shift or cover the face when upside down.
Bare feet only—no shoes, socks, or half-soles in acro classes.
-
Dancers may dance barefoot or wear appropriate footwear depending on the class style — including ballet shoes, jazz shoes, half soles, or, in some cases, socks.
We believe that dance is a powerful form of self-expression—and what you wear can be too. Dancers are welcome to express their individuality through their clothing, as long as it allows for safe and comfortable movement.
Sweatpants, leggings, athletic shorts, t-shirts, and tank tops are all great options.
We want every dancer to feel confident, free, and authentically themselves in the studio.
Classes at our studio are carefully structured by age and experience to ensure every dancer is placed where they can thrive. Whether your child is just beginning their dance journey or is training at a pre-professional level, our leveled program provides the guidance, support, and challenge they need to grow.
We use a combined level structure, which means dancers may be in class with peers from levels just above or below their current placement. This dynamic setting offers valuable benefits:
It gives dancers the opportunity to step into leadership roles, gaining confidence by mentoring newer peers.
At the same time, they are inspired and motivated by dancers with slightly more experience, who help elevate their technical and artistic development.
We’re committed to fostering growth, confidence, and a lifelong love of dance at every stage—ensuring that each dancer is both supported and stretched in just the right ways.
