2023/2024 Season Dress Code
Please keep in mind that the uniform is a sign respect for the art of dance and any student who does not come to class prepared maybe asked to sit out. For each discipline, note with a * and a note at the beginning that item may be required as part of costume but not necessarily needed week to week. Thank You
Where is the best place to find items for your uniform? Some of our favorite places to find items are at our local second hand shops but everything you would ever need can also be found at our local dance shop. Jazz-Ma-Tazz is located in Historic Downtown Abbotsford: Abbotsford 2546 Montrose Ave. We also have a shoe library located in the lobby of our studio. Please feel free to take a peek in there before you head out to the shops. If you have any dance shoes at home that your dancer has out grown you are welcome to contribute to our library at any time. It is a wonderful way to help out our fellow LOFT family members and we really appreciate it.
