We’re so excited to kick off another amazing season at Charlee’s Elite School of Dance! To help our dancers feel prepared and confident in every class, we’ve created a complete guide to class attire, shoes, and hair requirements for the 2025–2026 dance season.


Having the right attire and shoes is important for safety, technique, and performance readiness. Proper dancewear allows instructors to provide accurate corrections, ensures dancers can move freely, and helps build a professional atmosphere in the studio.


✅ Why It Matters:

- Promotes discipline and focus

- Helps dancers move comfortably and safely prepares students for performance and technical standards.
