You may wear a cover-up sweater or zip-sweatshirt for the first five minutes of class until you are warm. Then remove it.

Never wear dance shoes outside. It ruins the shoes and makes them dirty for the dance floor. Always bring your shoes in a separate bag and put them on right before class. Put your name in your shoes in case you leave them at the studio.
