ALoveChoreo Studio Guidelines

1. Arrive Prepared

Come a few minutes early to get settled, stretch & get ready to move. Beginning class on time shows respect for yourself, your instructor & the group energy we create together.

2. Respect the Space & Each Other

The studio is a shared space built on intention & care. Keep the studio clean, be considerate, & bring good energy into the room.

3. Be Open to Growth

Every dancer’s journey is unique. Stay curious, explore new challenges, & receive feedback as an opportunity to strengthen your artistry & confidence.

4. Stay Present

Silence distractions & give your full attention to the class. Listen, connect with the rhythm of the room, & let movement be your focus for this time you’ve set aside just for you.

5. Move Safely & Confidently

Check the attire guidelines for the class you’re attending & come dressed to move with comfort, safety, & intention. Communicate with us if you’re running late or need to adjust movement for your body. Leave class feeling grounded, inspired, & proud.

Class Attire

Wear clothing that helps you move freely & feel confident. Choose fitted, flexible pieces like leggings, dance pants, or fitted tops so instructors can see alignment & movement. Avoid jeans or restrictive fabrics. For every class, long hair should be pulled back & secured, & all dangling jewelry should be removed before class begins.

Warm-ups such as sweatshirts, long sleeves, or joggers are welcome during colder months, but once your body warms up, please remove extra layers so instructors can clearly see your body placement & provide feedback to help you move properly & safely.

Conditioning (Stretch, Balance & Strengthening)

We ask that dancers wear Capezio dance socks for stability & safety. Dancers are also welcome to bring their own exercise bands or yoga blocks. The studio also provides some for use during class.

Contemporary & Improv/Choreography

Lyrical half soles, toe thongs, or Capezio dance socks are recommended for smooth transitions & floorwork. Dancers should also bring a journal to class for reflection, choreography notes, and creative prompts. You’re welcome to bring your own, or you can purchase an ALoveChoreo journal at the studio.

Tap

For Tap please wear tap shoes & athletic clothing that does not go past the ankle.

Ballet

For Ballet, please wear ballet slippers for footwear, and very form-fitting clothing (leggings, tight tops, leotard, tights, ballet skirt).

Yoga

Please wear flexible clothing & bring a yoga mat. If you are unable to bring your own, we have a couple of mats available in the studio to use.

Where to Shop

Class attire & footwear are available at our Studio Shop! We carry Capezio dance socks, lyrical half soles, dance & athletic apparel, & other accessories. We also have tap shoes, character heels, jazz shoes, & ballet slippers in studio to purchase & can fit you properly.
