SUITABLE CLOTHES TO WEAR Introduction - Preschoolers - Introduction to Dance - Tap - Jazz - Singing/Acting For many reasons, it may seem impractical to being spending many dollars on clothing and footwear for a particular class, especially if your child is attending dance classes for the first time. Sometimes though this can add to the enthusiasm of the children by having "special clothes and footwear" to wear to dance classes. Tappers of course are disadvantaged right from the outset if mum hasn't purchased a pair of tap shoes. The beats from hard soled shoes just don't quite sound the same! Perhaps mums could reflect the needs of the children involved in sport, - certainly playing soccer or football requires certain clothing and footwear, tennis players require a tennis racquet and suitable footwear. It would be very difficult to play soccer in bare feet, in fact regulations are likely not to allow this at all! So whilst I am relatively open to the various options of clothing and footwear, I do strongly recommend that suitable footwear is purchased fairly early on.
PRESCHOOLERS: (3 - 4 year olds) Preferably shorts and T shirt, or leotard and bike pants, or T shirt and leggings (not baggy) Footwear: bare feet or ballet/jazz shoes, hard soled shoe (strap across) (rubber soles are no good!) - or, tap shoes!
INTRODUCTION TO DANCE: (5 to 10 year olds) T shirt and leggings, or leotard and bike pants Footwear: black jazz shoes preferred, but bare feet or ballet shoes okay in the interim, tap shoes preferred, but hard soled shoe will be okay in the interim (strap across) (rubber soles are no good!) Hair to be tied back. Bring a container of water for refreshments and a notebook and pen.
T shirt and leggings (not baggy), or leotard and bike pants Boys: T shirt and shorts (knees exposed) Adults: T shirt and leggings or slacks. Leotards optional. Footwear: Tap shoes preferred, although hard soled shoes for beginners will suffice in the interim (strap across - not rubber sole) Hair to be tied back. Bring a water bottle full of water and a notebook and pen.
