Undergarments

Dancers of any age may not wear undergarments that show. This adds to rather than reduces modesty issues. Allow the leotard and tights to provide coverage and support on their own. The uniform leotard is thick, supportive, and modestly cut. 

If additional support is desired, dancers may wear dance undergarments that do not show. Skin-toned dance bras, briefs, or nude leotards designed to hide entirely under a leotard are an excellent choice. Since undergarment needs vary from student to student, the studio does not provide or stock undergarments.
Accessories

Anything other than the class uniform must be removed before class begins, including leg warmers, jackets, sweaters, skirts, trash bag shorts, etc.

Ripple 4+ students may begin any class in fitted leg warmers when the weather is cold or when nursing an injury. Typically, they are removed after rond de jamb in ballet class. This may vary at the teacher's discretion when an injury is present.
Jewelry

Only small pierced jewelry is allowed. No necklaces, watches, bracelets, anklets, dangling earrings, large hair accessories, etc.

Good To Know

  • Every student's standard Pure Dance Works uniform is included annually in the correct brand, color, and style.
     
  • Students may only wear leotards, shirts, pants, & leggings imprinted with the PDW logo for class.
     
  • Occasionally, the studio offers additional PDW logo wear as optional supplements to a dancer's wardrobe.
     
  • Due to varying prices, shoes are not included in the uniform and must be purchased separately. For your convenience, shoes are available at Reggie's Shoppe, our on-site retail store.
     
  • *Tap Shoes: Beginner and intermediate tap shoes are available for purchase at Pure Dance Works. Tappers may also source black tap shoes in pull-on or Oxford (shoe laces) styles elsewhere.
    • Intermediate tap shoes feature genuine leather with heavier taps that are typically screwed on, providing dancers with options in terms of tightness or style of taps (as opposed to grommeted).
    • Advanced tap shoes are highly durable. In addition to the features of an intermediate shoe, they include a built-up leather section under the shoe, providing the shoe with heft and allowing for a depth of pitch in the taps.

  • Students should only wear their dance shoes inside.
