Dress Code

At Project One Eleven Dance Center, our dress code is designed to support confidence, focus, and safe movement in the classroom. A consistent dress code helps dancers feel prepared, comfortable, and united—allowing teachers to properly assess technique while creating a professional, respectful learning environment.

General Guidelines

For all classes, hair should be securely tied away from the face, ideally in a neat bun or ponytail. This
applies to all levels, including preschool classes.
Appropriate dance attire is required - Movable Athletic Apparel or Project One Eleven Merchandise.
No outside clothing - such as jeans, blouses or dresses.
Warm Ups - Hoodies, sweatshirts and sweat pants - Must be removed after "warm up" or when directed by instructor
No large jewelry hanging down or off. This is to prevent accessories from snagging on clothing, injuring your student or others in the class, or losing accessories
Dance shoes should never be worn outside of the studio. This is to keep the marley floors in the studios clean.
