Dress Code

It is important for your student’s growth as a dancer that they come to class prepared to learn.  An important part of that preparation includes wearing the appropriate dress code items.

  • Shining Stars Classes have specific dance wear depending on class and must be purchased through us. You are welcome to buy your own tights & shoes if you have a different preference for those, but class leotards must be purchased through us so the class is matching.
    We do sell some dance wear in the studio as well and have sizing kits for anything that we do not stock. Try on at the studio then order online though ourInspiRED shop! *Please note- dance shoes are not usually the same as street shoe size- our Shining Stars ballet shoes tend to run 2-3 sizes small for example. Please try on our sizing shoes at the studio before ordering if you have not ordered with us before!
  • Leveled Class Dress Code is listed below and does not have to be purchased through us. Although we do have options on our InspiRED Shop as well as a few options in the studio.
