Hello Team Family, and happy Friday!

Just a few important reminders and some exciting weekend information as we head into a busy weekend.

Dress Code Reminder, Technique Classes     Technique classes are not to be taken in socks unless an instructor specifically requests it     Cover-ups are at the instructor’s discretion     If an instructor asks a dancer to remove a cover-up, it should be taken off regardless of what other instructors may allow     This is non-negotiable and helps maintain consistency and safety across all classes
