OUR DRESS CODE

The following is a guide to appropriate clothing and hair for dance classes. If you have any questions, please ask your teacher.

Etoile has a specific dress code for all of our classes. The dress code is designed to take distractions away and allow our dancers to focus on learning. Dancers who are properly fitted in dance attire will not be distracted by their clothing. They shouldn't be concerned about their hair. Dancers who look like dancers start to feel like dancers. It can also help remind children that they are part of a group. It is easier for the teacher and students to spot mistakes. Dancers who are dressed appropriately are more confident. A teacher can focus all of his/her attention on the students rather than what they are wearing. It's a win for everyone. If you have ANY questions about our dress code, please don't hesitate to call, email, or catch someone at the front desk.

SHOES All of our students coordinate hair, makeup, tights, costume, and shoes for our annual showcase, so we suggest starting the year off with the correct pair of shoes. Shoes should be purchased at Plymouth Dancewear. They have our dress code on file, and will be happy to help you get fitted for shoes for the year.

DANCEWEAR Etoile carries a selection of dancewear items in our studio (you can shop online for pickup) or you can shop online at Nimbly or DiscountDance.com (just remember to use the teacher code "67153" at checkout!). You can also find dancewear at other retailers - we don’t have any brand requirements for what students wear for weekly classes. 

We strongly encourage you to utilize Plymouth Dancewear as they carry all of our products.

Plymouth Dancewear's educated staff members understand the need for properly fitted dance shoes and will give that guidance at every in-store fitting.

Students must wear the required shoes for each style of dance.

Please be sure to write your name in all of your shoes, bags, water bottles and belongings!!
