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 the different classes and levels. Dress code is listed by age.
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.
