Dance Attire

Here at Captivation Dance we believe that proper dance attire is an important part of participation in a dance class. Proper attire serves many roles:

  1. Prevents injury due to loose clothing and inability to see improper placement

  2. Allows instructors to properly observe dancers’ body positions and placements to give necessary feedback and correction

  3. Creates a clean and professional atmosphere within the dance studio

Listed below is the Captivation Dance complete list of proper dance attire.

If you have any questions regarding proper dance attire, email Emily Schumacher at eschuamcher@captivation-dance.com
