Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What should my child wear to class and is there a dress code?
A. LDA expects all dancers to come to class prepared and in proper dance attire with clothing that is form fitting so that instructors can see your child’s alignment and how their muscles are working. Please ensure hair is tied up and off of the face.

Q. Where do I buy dancewear?
A. Dancewear for Sweet Peas, Pre-Primary, Primary Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and Broadway Classes may be purchased at Reception at LDA, or by completing the Pre-Order Form. Graded Ballet bodysuits will be ordered for each child upon registration (Grade 1-5 Ballet). For class specific dress code, please refer to the Class Registration pages.

Q. Where do I buy dance shoes?
A. The store Dance Box in Langley and Limbers in Surrey specialize in ensuring your child has the right shoe for their dance class. We ask all female ballet dancers to wear pink leather ballet slippers and for males to wear white ballet slippers. For Jazz, black leather jazz shoes are required. Hip Hop requires clean inside shoes (sneakers). For Tap, please pick tap shoes with proper silver taps on the bottom, black in colour.
