YOUNG DANCER PROGRAM

Our Combo classes introduce young dancers to the foundations of ballet, tap, and tumbling in a fun and encouraging environment.

What to Wear for Combo Class

For our youngest dancers, comfort and confidence come first! We want them to be able to move freely and feel ready to participate.

Any well-fitting dance or activewear is welcome, including:

• Leotards and tights
• Tutus
• Dancewear or costumes
• Leggings and comfortable shorts
• Comfortable tops

Please make sure clothing allows your dancer to move safely and does not become a distraction during class.

Shoes

Ballet: Pink leather ballet shoes - no slippers (girls), Black leather ballet shoes (boys)
Tap: Black tap shoes

Hair

Please pull hair back and away from the face so dancers can see clearly and move comfortably.

Our Intro Level classes are designed as a bridge from our Young Dancer Combo program into our Core Training Program (Level 1+).

Dancers begin developing more intentional technique, terminology, classroom habits, and independence across each style. Because of this progression, the dress code becomes more structured, consistent, and focused while still allowing dancers some personal choice.
