Classwear & Uniform Requirements

Dance Quest Company Team Classwear Requirements

DQI maintains a dress code to encourage concentration and a sense of inclusiveness. Uniformity in dance-wear allows the
instructors to assess how well the students are implementing technique being taught, problems with alignment and other important
aspects of dance training. We understand that a student may start class with different attire and shoes and move towards the
requirements as new shoes and attire are purchased.
● Company dancer hair must be pulled back properly in a bun for each and every class and rehearsal. Ponytails and braids are
not conducive to a proper dance education environment and often propose a hazard. For performances, a Company Bun will
be required.
● Proper Undergarments are required. Sports Bras, no lace bralettes, or bras with claps as this damages the Marley flooring
and isn’t appropriate to wear with your leotard.
● No jewelry (except for small earrings) is to be worn to class or rehearsals.
● Company Dancers should have at least one Company leotard and one class level color leotard. Black leotards may be worn
on days when not in Ballet class. Please note, class leotard colors are determined by Ballet Level, not by Company team:
○ Ballet Level 1 - Soft Blue
○ Ballet Level 2 - Mulberry
○ Ballet Level 3 - Royal Blue
○ Ballet Level 4 - Plum
○ Ballet Level 5 - Teal

Ballet
● Split-sole ballet slippers (canvas only)
● Pink Tights (Ballet Pink required...no Tan/black tights on Ballet Days!)
● NO dance shorts or athletic shorts of any kind!!! A bullet or wrap skirt may be allowed by the instructor for
older students.
Jazz
● Tan Canvas Jazz Shoes *Black canvas jazz shoes and/or Pedinis may be required for certain dances.
● Caramel Tan Tights (convertible required)
● Tan Body-under for performances
Contemporary
● Angelo Luzio half soles by body wrappers (some dances may require a foot undie)
● Caramel Tan Stirrup tights
*Dancers may be required to purchase specialty shoes, tights, hair pieces, earrings, rhinestones etc. throughout the

notice as possible.
