Dance Junction accepts gender-neutral dance attire in our classes. Dancers may select which option is most comfortable. Attire should exclude jeans and everyday shoes. Please make sure sneakers for hip hop are separate from sneakers worn out everyday.

Our studio dress code is important to our dancers here at Dance Junction. It provides a sense of unity as a dance family, and what’s not to love about a sparkly tutu or a fresh pair of hip hop sneaks!

We are also flexible with dress code if there are any accommodations needed for our dancers and offer sensory-friendly dance wear options for those who are interested!
