McCormick
I am so pleased to be teaching your student dance this year! Remember that athletic wear is strongly encouraged but not required. Students who choose to wear dresses/skirts on dance days must wear shorts or leggings beneath the skirt. Dancing is fun, but not when you’re hurt! Send a doctor's note if your student will need to sit out.
