Dancers should wear comfortable, preferably layered, undistracting clothes.

 

*NOTE: Acquiring black shoes for class will prepare you for any future performances.

The Step Dancers require ballet, jazz or Ghillies (Irish Dance Shoes). Local discount stores (general and shoe) carry the first two; explore online for the third. Purchase "Rehearsal Ghillies".

 

The Dancers require ballet, jazz or Ghillies and/or low-heeled, preferably leather soled, secure (laced, strapped preferred) shoes. ABSOLUTELY no sneakers or rubber soles. If you need shock absorption, use inserts. Hard plastic soles can be an option on some shoes.

Parents and others will only be allowed in the Dance Area on Observation Weeks.

Guests considering joining may be preapproved for a visit by the Instructor.

 

Dancers should try not to track dirt/snow/leaves/etc through the Area and be generally respectful and quiet.

 

Food should not be brought into the Dance Area.

A sealed Water Bottle is strongly recommended for all Dancers.

 

Seriously consider participation in future shows which may include/require extra rehearsals other than Wednesdays.

 

Shows will require a Group outfit. This will be determined in the future.  (Not a traditional Irish Dance Dress and CONSIDERABLY more affordable!) Double black tights, black turtleneck & multiple layers will be necessary for outdoor, cold weather shows.

 Plain Black shoes will be needed for shows; very plain black sneakers or street shoes for parades/outdoor shows.
