Dress Code
At Dimensions Dance Academy we strive to provide a safe and professional atmosphere so your dancer can not only express their love of dance, but also learn important life skills such as structure, preparedness, respect and reliability.
Hair must be secured in a ponytail, French braid or bun off of the dancer’s face for ALL classes. A bun is required for all ballet classes. Dancers may be asked to leave the class until hair is done properly. This gets easier with practice!
