The Dance Element dance school in Wilmington NC requires all male & female students
to dress in appropriate attire for every dance class.

The Dress Code creates equality and discipline in the dance classroom and eliminates distractions, helping students focus and take their lessons seriously.

Form fitting dance wear is essential to our dance instructors when correcting body alignment in Ballet classes and assisting our Acrobatics students.

Our Dress Code teaches children  
the importance of being responsible!  

When students arrive prepared, they are able to get the most out of every dance class.

The Dance Element studio's "Lobby Shop"
provides a great selection of new and like-new
dance class attire and dance shoes for our students
at significant discounts from retail prices.

If you or your dancer need supplies for class,
please arrive to the studio a few minutes early.
Any member of our staff will be happy to help you!

Students are welcome to borrow a pair of gently-worn dance shoes to try a class for the first time.

---

Adult Dance Students 
may wear any style of dance or fitness attire comfortable for exercise.

• Ballet shoes & Tap shoes are necessary for getting the most out of the Adult Ballet & Tap Classes.
  (Any style of dance shoe is fine.)

• We recommend bringing sneakers to enjoy our
  Adult Hip Hop & Zumba Fitness Classes. 
  (Preferably not the "street shoes" you arrive in.)
