What to Wear to Practice
McGovern Irish Dance In Studio Dress Code
Dress code applies to ALL locations, ALL classes
Black,gray, white or pink leggings, shorts, or tights. Shorts must be at an appropriate length (no cheek chillers)
Black,gray white or pink tights, white poodle socks or other white socks.
Black, white., gray, or pink shirts or any MID Logo shirts, shirts with graphics as long as the main color theme is MID themed
Graphics/designs on leggings, shirts, etc are acceptable as long as we are within the theme
Sports Bra (This is for ALL CLASSES) - If you are over 10 and or if you need one, if there is a question about whether you need one, you probably need one
NO SKIRTS or DRESSES
NO mid driffs or belly shirts
Hair pulled up off of your face and neck
You must wear socks with your ghillies and hardshoes
LAYERS that will allow you to move and can be easily removed. When the weather is cool the studios are pretty chilly until you start moving and then it gets very hot. When the weather is warm, it is just plain hot, especially in the Dayton studio and you WILL get sweaty. Socks must absolutely be worn!
Deodorant - Nuff said!
Absolutely no denim of any kind may be worn during practice. This means no denim shorts not stretchy denim, not jegging – NO DENIM! Leggings that drag the ground or have huge flares are also not acceptable; I have to see what your feet and legs are doing.
Shoes - Standard issue Irish dance shoes (soft and hard), ballet shoes in black or gym shoes are all acceptable.
Hair Please have your hair pulled back securely from your face and neck. It should not be hanging in your eyes. If you don’t do it, I will do it for you with my supply of brand new pony-tail holders, and you will have to wear your hair the way I put it up without complaint or adjustment, crying or fussing.
Water ONLY, no bubbly drinks no flavored anything!
