What to Wear

At Marietta Dance Academy, we believe the right attire helps dancers feel confident, comfortable, and ready to learn. Proper dancewear also allows teachers to see alignment and technique, ensuring every dancer gets the best training possible. We ask that hair be pulled up for safety. Please no bra tops or cheeky shorts.
