Uniforms
DCM is committed to ensuring that all students have uniform options that honor their unique selves and enable them to feel confident and comfortable while dancing. Students are encouraged to select the options below that best align with their gender identity.
Skirts and warm-ups may be worn at the instructor's discretion for Ballet levels 3 and up. Ballet warmup attire is limited to ballet sweaters, shrugs, and leg warmers. No Sweats or baggy clothing. No T-shirts.
Long hair must be secured in a bun at ALL times. Dancers may have natural hairstyles such as twists, braids, and cornrows into the ballet bun. If hair is short, a headband or hairspray/gel will be necessary to hold the hair back away from the face and neck. For safety, no hair beads or jewelry beyond stud earrings are allowed for ballet classes.

Tights and slippers should match the dancer's skin tone; fair-skinned dancers should have pink tights and slippers.
