Class Info/Dress Code
Natalia's Muse Dance Studio encourages our students to dress according to the genre of dance they are attending. Following this guideline establishes a sense of professionalism in class, helps unify students, diminishes economic and social barriers between students, increases a sense of belonging and studio pride, and lastly, improves attendance. Most importantly, dressing according to the standards we outline below helps prepare our students to be successful dancers.
​
​
Hip Hop
Our hip-hop classes combine a warm-up, across the floor combinations, grooves, and a center combination. This powerful form of dance allows students of all ages to enjoy being free while learning body isolation and coordination skills while listening to music they love.
​
Dress Code: Comfortable sneakers along with any combination of shirts, tops, shorts or sweatpants that are loose fitting.
Contempory
Contemporary is characterized by a free-flowing and natural form of expression. Due to its flexibility and organic fluidity, it can truly deliver a unique style that is often driven by a strong emotional narrative, expressed and interpreted by the dancer.
​
Dress Code: Bare feet, dance socks or lyrical paw's along with any combination of long sleeve shirts and pants due to floor work. Bringing/wearing layers is encouraged. Hair should be neatly pulled back in a low or high ponytail/bun.

These fundamentals include progression, turns, leaps and center work. Students will enjoy seasonal combinations taught in the center of the floor to upbeat music.
