Dress Code Dance Attire
MBC has a set Dress Code. If you don’t have what you need, consider stopping in during office hours. We have most things in stock. If we don’t have something we can typically order it and have it by the first week of classes.
Session Classes and Open Teen/Adult classes have a relaxed dress code and should wear athletic clothing. Dance shoes are recommended, but socks may be worn. We still recommend pulling hair back out of the face and refraining from overly baggy clothing.
Summer sessions have much more relaxed dress code. We do ask that dancers in ballet classes have on tights and a leotard. Intermediate and advanced levels should have hair in a bun for class. Tap, Jazz and Musical theater classes should have on leggings, t-shirts, tank tops and hair pulled back out of face.
Band App
We use the the Band App frequently to communicate with our families; it is free and can be downloaded on any mobile devise. You can also manage it through your desktop if you prefer. CLICK HERE to download. Once you have downloaded the App you can join the Band Group for each of your classes in the Parent Portal.
Band will be used as the primary communication tool for you to connect with instructor. We will also post important information about upcoming events, holiday breaks and performances. Once recital dances begin we will post videos of the dances for the dancers to practice with.
