Class Attire Policies
Students must wear the proper clothing, shoes, and hairstyle for each dance class. We are very strict about dance attire so please look over the list below. Dancers need to dress like dancers!
Tights can be ordered through the studio by emailing emilyrosedancecreations@gmail.com. The only dance attire we sell is tights and ERDC merchandise.

Trust us, your dancer is going to go through tights during the season faster than you think, so why not just buy all at once and get a great deal too?!
Buy 20 pairs of tights for the season and save $50!
20 pairs of footed tights: $150 (normally $200!)
