Loose-fitting garments are not allowed in the classroom as this prohibits our ability to see student’s body alignment and, therefore, limits our ability to correct proper form.

* Please purchase dance shoes at Standing Ovation, Fort Wayne, for proper fit and good quality shoe. Shoes at other mass retailers tend to have very hard soles, and students find them uncomfortable for long-term training. Standing Ovation provides a quality shoe at an affordable price. Available for purchase at our fall Open House.
Typical performance shoes is either a pink or black shoe. We cannot guarantee that the shoe purchased for rehearsal will be the only shoe required for performance. Shoes are at the expense of the student.
