Dress Code

The following is a brief description of the dress code for each of our classes. Dress codes are in place for the safety of our performers, the respect towards their teachers, and the discipline of the art form. If a student is not dressed appropriately for class they may be asked to sit out for the class's duration.

 

Limelight Performing Arts is LGBTQIA+ inclusive. Please choose the attire option you feel most comfortable in.
