To ensure that all students are appropriately dressed and wear appropriate shoes, WNC Dance Academy requires dancers to follow our dress code policy. We respectfully ask parents to ensure that their children abide by the following policies:

• Put your name in all dance shoes and dance wear in case of loss.
• If you change shoes during class for a different class, a dance bag is strongly recommended to avoid “shoe mix-ups.”

PLEASE NOTE: JEANS & JEAN SHORTS ARE NOT ALLOWED. If you are unable to change before coming to class, bring the appropriate dance wear with you to change in the changing rooms.
