DRESS CODE

At PSPA, we provide dress codes so the students and teachers can focus on form and performance, rather than be distracted by clothing. Please see below for dress code for different classes and levels and feel free to reach out with any questions at: 215-598-8513

Please bring these items to class along with your dance gear! Make sure to label every thing with your name and try to limit your items to one small dance bag.
