Dress Code & Attire
Below you will find Mariana's Dancing Studio's information regarding class attire. A dress code is part of the discipline of dance, and allows our instructors to see the dancer's body lines.
Please review the following and let us know if you have any questions or concerns:
Hair
With the exception of Level (Recreational) classes, all girls' hair must be worn in a bun. There are no exceptions to this policy, and students without a bun will be asked to sit out and watch class.
Jewelry Policy
For the safety of all students, no jewelry of any kind is allowed in any class.
Where to Purchase Attire
For children up to children's sizes 12, attire is available at Children's Orchard in Rowley, MA.
A full list of brands for each product attire is available at On Your Toes Dancewear in Peabody. Mention Mariana's Dancing Studio to receive a discount on your order.
