Families are asked to send children in comfortable clothing that allows a full range of motion, such as leggings, athletic shorts, t-shirts, or leotards, and to avoid clothing that is too baggy. The program also recommends a reusable water bottle and footwear with a smooth, non-marking sole; some classes use clean sneakers, some may require specific dance shoes, and for certain styles, dancing in socks is acceptable, especially for younger students.
