Dance Dress Code
HSA Dance Department Dress Code Guidelines
The Harlem School of the Arts (HSA) requires appropriate attire in all of its dance classes. Please help us maintain an environment of professionalism.
HSA Dance Department Dress Code: • Leotaerds can be purchased at Capezio and required for all classes where leotards are worn. o Capezio offers a 20% discount to all HSA students who mention “HSA”. • A dance belt for men is for protective support (similar to a jock strap in other sports) and should be worn for all dance classes starting around age eight. • No jewelry may be worn except very small earrings or studs. • All ballet slippers should be fitted by the teachers or head of dance department. Elastics should be tucked in and sewn on. In general ankles must match the shoe. For example, dancers with bare ankles must have flesh colored shoes. Dancers wearing white socks must wear white shoes. Leather slippers are more durable than canvas. Both are equally accepted. Additionally, dancers ages 2-5 should wear full sole leather ballet slippers because they provide more stability for their feet and ankles. • Convertible tights are those with a small pre-designed slit under the foot. These can cover the full foot fully for ballet or rolled up above the ankle for African or Modern. *Young ladies should refrain from wearing underwear with their dance tights. They should wear dance tights with a cotton panel instead of underwear. • Hair: o Ladies - Neatly pulled back or up into a bun. For shorter length hair, hair may be pinned back. Loose bangs, fly away, and hanging hair is not allowed. No bows, decorative barrettes, beads or flowers are allowed. Headbands may be worn but they must be black or match your child’s hair color. o Men - Short and neat. Long braids, pony tails, locks buns, afro puffs are not allowed.
Dance attire is for inside the virtual studios during class.
If a student arrives to class without the proper dance attire, they may be asked to sit and watch at the teacher’s discretion. Academy students wearing inappropriate attire to class may be dismissed. PLEASE HELP US MAINTAIN A PROFESSIONAL DRESS CODE.
