UNIFORM POLICY
To help all dancers succeed, the full and correct SFK uniform is required for every class. Just like a karate gi for martial arts or a particular jersey for basketball practice, our uniform & shoes aren't not optional but required every week.

If a dancer is not in proper attire, a reminder will be given. After the first reminder, families will have 30 days to obtain the required uniform. If the correct attire is still not in place after that time, dancers may be asked to observe class rather than participate until they are in dress code.

​

Uniform items must be purchased through our ONLINE BOUTIQUE ONLY (link above). The studio cannot place orders on your behalf. Our online shop includes sizing charts and instructions—when followed carefully, they are accurate. If you prefer an in-person fitting, you may book an appointment HERE.

SHOES

IMPORTANT: Check the Size Chart for EVERY Shoe Style

• Each shoe style fits differently! A size that fits in one style may not be the same size you need in another. Always check the size chart for the specific shoe style you are ordering, every time you order a new style.

• We highly recommend booking a shoe fitting HERE to help ensure you order the correct size.

• Check the size chart for EVERY shoe style before ordering. Do not assume your size will be the same across different styles, such as Hip-Hop vs. Ballet.

• Follow the sizing recommendations in Nimbly when ordering and always round up!

• If your size is on backorder, please order the next available size. Nimbly will send your tracking information and ETA directly to you.

• Hip-Hop: CLEAN sneakers must be brought to class and worn only inside the studio. Street shoes are never allowed on the dance floor.

• If dress code items have not arrived before your first class, dancers may wear plain, fitted dancewear and socks (or clean sneakers for Hip-Hop).

WHY OUR DRESS CODE IS IMPORTANT

• Helps teachers give accurate corrections and ensures proper technique.

• Promotes discipline, professionalism, and team unity.

• Keeps classes focused and distraction-free.

• Prepares dancers for community performances throughout the year.

• Colors and styles represent growth, much like levels in martial arts.

​​

ITEMS NOT ALLOWED IN CLASS

• Jeans, skirts, dresses, school or play clothes

• Jewelry (except small stud earrings)

• Watches, Fitbits, or similar devices

• Satin ballet slippers or patent-leather tie tap shoes

• Shoes worn outdoors

• Underwear under leotards (tights serve this purpose)

​

HAIR REQUIREMENTS

• Hair must always be pulled back, away from the face (ponytail, braid, or bun).

• Bun is required for Jr., Elite, Teen Ballet, and Pre-Pointe.

• Bun is strongly preferred for Mini Ballet.

Reminder: Our dress code is designed to support your dancer’s progress and the success of the entire class. Thank you for helping us maintain consistency and professionalism at SFK!
