Flying Irish

Class Attire

for dancers

 

Please take note of our dress codes! What looks great on stage starts in the classroom. Extra clothing obscures alignment, muscle tone, and faulty technical habits and can be a safety hazard. Failure to dress appropriately for class can result in a student observing, not participating in, that class (no make-ups). 

​

Face masks will be required in class during times of enhanced social distancing and for students who live with, or are in regular close contact with, someone who is infectious. Masks must be fitted to the face (i.e. no material hanging loose).

​
