JZT Dress Code For 2025-2026 Fall Season
Dress Code – The Dance Store at JZT
Why Dress Code Matters
At JZT, our dress code is an important part of creating a focused, disciplined, and professional learning environment. Proper dance attire allows instructors to clearly see students’ alignment and technique, promotes unity in class, and helps dancers feel prepared and confident.
Wearing the correct dancewear and shoes also ensures safety—both in terms of movement and proper support. When dancers are dressed appropriately, they are able to move freely, avoid distractions, and fully participate in class.
The Dance Store at JZT
Dancewear and shoes are available for purchase at The Dance Store at JZT, located right inside the studio.
We stock ballet slippers, leotards, tights, shoes, and other essentials.
If your item is not in stock, we can typically have it delivered to the studio within 48 hours.
Our staff will help ensure the proper fit—especially important for dance shoes, which can be very tricky to size correctly online.
