Dance Attire-
Dance Wear - We, at Adagio, feel it is important for each dancer to express themselves through color and style. Still, it is also important to wear attire that is comfortable and moves with you, as well as allows the instructor to observe proper technique. A leotard and tights is the best attire for any of our classes. Sweats will only be allowed during stretching and warm–ups. Dance sweaters are allowed during the remainder of the class but baggy clothing will not be acceptable. Hair must be pulled away from your face. If you have further questions about proper attire, please see you instructor.
Dance Supplies - If you need to order any leotards, tights, shoes, etc. Please see your Instructor and Adagio will gladly order your dance wear. Remember to let us know in advance, since all ordered materials take time for shipping.
