Dancewear Requirements

At Dance Quest International, proper dance attire must be worn at all times. DQI maintains a dress code to encourage concentration and a sense of inclusiveness. Uniformity in dance wear allows the teachers 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.

Students’ hair must be neat and in place, pulled back off of their face and neck. In Ballet, a bun is required at all times. Loose hair is an impediment while dancing and is a distraction to the dancer during class. When hair is secured properly, it allows the student to completely focus on their dancing. No jewelry (except for small earrings) is to be worn to class or rehearsals. The appropriate dance shoes must be worn in class. Dance shoes should never be worn outside.

For your convenience, we have a selection of approved dance attire available at our studio for viewing and sizing. You can visit our partner store, DQI Store, at DQIStore.com for all dance wear, or select from the items below.
