Dress Code
CAPA DRESS CODE

·        BALLET CLASSES ONLY. Girls must wear black leotard and pink tights and pink ballet shoes. Hair must be in bun if it is long enough. Hair must also be NEATLY secured, not twisted up at the last minute.
 
·        ALL NON-BALLET CLASSES. Students should wear regular dance clothes. Immodesty will not be tolerated. Colors are your choice. It is preferred that shirts, baggy shorts, sweats, not be worn as this restricts the teachers’ ability to see your form and make corrections. Tights or thin socks should ALWAYS be worn with dance shoes for comfort to avoid blisters. Hair should be worn secured back if possible. Dangly earrings must be avoided so they won’t “catch and rip”. Various teachers can and do establish their own dress code for class.  Adhere to all stated dress codes.
 
·        BE SAFE: No dangly earrings or other jewelry allowed!
 
·        ENSEMBLE DIVISION. Dancers must wear regular dance wear for all classes.
 
·        NO street clothes in any class other than Hip Hop.
 
·        TEACHERS MAY ASK YOU TO LEAVE CLASS IF YOU ARE NOT PROPERLY DRESSED
 
NOTE:  Neatness counts – a dancer performs better in class and behaves better when she is well groomed. Get in the habit of securing hair with pins and spray to avoid a messy appearance. Wash your dance clothes after each wearing. If maturing AT ALL, use deodorant. Don’t wear panties under tights (avoids a messy look). A dancer spends much time looking in the mirror. Make that image appealing!
