Please make sure your child takes the class in an open area where they will not accidentally kick something or put themselves in danger. Ideally, the space would not be slippery, but if it is a slippery surface, it is recommended to use non-stick socks or soft non-slip shoes. If your child already has either ballet or jazz shoes, it is recommended they use them (although not required). Parents and guardians should remain nearby to assist and prevent accidents. Dancers should wear loosely fitting clothing, so they have room to move and stay cool. Having a water bottle nearby is ideal to stay hydrated and we will have water breaks between sections of the class. If class is taken during warmer months, it is ideal to have an air conditioner or fan running to prevent overheating.
