Dress Code What to wear

The dress code for dance classes is important for creating a sense of unity among dancers, ensures that students can move freely and safely, and allows instructors to see posture and alignments. It is expected that your dancer arrives each week in the required dress code requirements.

For your convenience, all dancewear is now online for you to purchase. Our storefront can be located at the following link: www.shopnimbly.com/sofdance.

How it works:

  • Visit www.shopnimbly.com/sofdance
  • Create an account
  • Select “Lumberton” as the category. All Lumberton classes will have “Main” listed in front of the class name.
  • Choose your dancer’s class(es) from the list.
  • From there, you can shop your child’s class list and purchase the required products. Everything else is optional! (*Required products are noted with an asterisk and appear at the front of the list.)

*Sizing kits for shoes are also available at the front desk to help ensure the correct fit.*

Notes:

  • If your child is in more than one class, you are only required to purchase one leotard.
  • Please have your child change back into street shoes before leaving the building. Dance shoes are for the studio room only and are never to be worn outside.

Please email [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
