DRESS CODE

The Null Middle School Dance Department upholds a strict and non-negotiable dress code to maintain professionalism, safety, and uniformity in the classroom. All students are expected to follow the guidelines daily unless otherwise instructed by the teacher for themed events, performances, or spirit days.

Dress Code for Female - Identifying Students

Top Options (solid black only):

• • Blank black t-shirt / tank top / long sleeve 

    1. • If you get cold easily, please purchase a long sleeve. No jackets.

  • Black leotard (any style) or full-length black unitard
    
    

Bottom Options (solid black only):

• • Ankle-length or capri black leggings

  • Black yoga pants

Important: All clothing materials must be thick enough that undergarments do not show through. Shirts with logos or colors should not be turned inside out—students must arrive in proper blank black attire.

❌ Not allowed: Shorts, skorts, biketards, crop tops, shirts worn inside out, jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts, sweaters, or layers over the t-shirt.

If your student tends to get cold in class, please invest in a solid black long-sleeve shirt that meets expectations.

Dress Code for Male - Identifying Students

• Top: Blank solid black t-shirt

• Bottom: Solid black joggers or sweatpants
  
  

❌ Not allowed: Shorts, shirts worn inside out, jackets, hoodies, sweatshirts, sweaters, or layers over the t-shirt.

If your student tends to get cold in class, please invest in a solid black long-sleeve shirt that meets expectations.

Dance Footwear (Required)

All students in Dance 1, Dance 2, and Dance 3 must wear one of the following:

• Black jazz shoes

• Nude color half soles

❌ Socks are NOT allowed for safety reasons—socks are extremely slippery due to the floor being similar to a basketball court instead of marley.

Where to buy:

• Jazz Shoes: Academy ($25+), Amazon, Discount Dance Supply

Hair & Accessories

• Hair must be securely pulled into a single ponytail or bun
  
  ❌ No hair claws, pigtails, half-up styles, or loose hair
  
  

• Jewelry must be removed before class
  
  Only studs or small hoop earrings may be worn during class
  ❌ No necklaces, rings, bracelets, watches, or anklets
  
  
  

These rules are in place for the safety of both the dancer and others in the room.

All expectations are non-negotiable and enforced daily through the dance grading system by point deductions. Check the syllabus.

Discount Dance Supply : Dancewear Store

If you would prefer to order your shoes, undergarments, and/or leotard options from a designated dance source, I have taken the time to pre-select items that are not too expensive and acceptable. Any order you make it directly with the company. Any questions, size concerns, returns, etc. should be handled by calling the store.
