Anything they feel comfortable moving in! We recommend trainers for Commercial and Street, and socks or bare feet for Lyrical, Jazz and Contemporary. When you sign up, your child will receive a KBD t-shirt, and you can purchase additional uniform items from our online shop. Please bring a water bottle to every class — staying hydrated helps dancers move at their best.
