Class Dress Guidelines

General Tips: Fitted dancewear helps teachers see alignment and technique. Avoid loose clothing, exposed midriffs, excessive jewelry, or street shoes. No jeans are allowed in any class. Boys may wear athletic clothing for all classes. Hair should always be neat and secure.

Hair

Ballet (all ages, including combo classes): Hair must be in a bun.
All other classes: Hair should be pulled back and out of the face.

Recreational Students

Leotards: Pink or black (when required).
Ballet: Pink tights and pink ballet shoes. Boys wear black ballet shoes.
Jazz: Tan jazz shoes.
Tap: Black tap shoes.
Lyrical: Barefoot or skin-tone pirouette shoes.
Acro & Silks: Barefoot. Clothing must be fitted—no loose t-shirts or items that could get caught in silks or pose a safety risk.

Hip-Hop: Sneakers only. No crocs, slip-on shoes, or street shoes worn outside.

Special Notes by Age & Program

Ages 3–6 in Combo Classes: Will only change shoes for the second style (Ballet/Tap or Jazz/Acro), not clothing.
Elementary – Teen Program: Dancers may change clothing between styles of classes, but teachers will not pause class for wardrobe adjustments.

Tip: We carry all required shoes and dancewear in our studio dancewear store for your convenience.

A Message from Miss Peaches

“I’m so incredibly excited to kick off another season at Peaches Dance Orlando! Whether you’re new or a familiar face, you’re part of our dance family—and seeing our dancers flourish fills my heart every day.

I adore working with kids—the laughs, the new steps, the friendships—they’re what make it magical. Dance is more than steps; it’s joy, expression, growth, and connection.

Our teaching team is truly exceptional. Together, they have:

Performed in world-class companies and productions.
Taught and choreographed across the country and internationally.
Trained in ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, hip-hop, aerial, and musical theatre.
Learned at top arts schools and institutions.
Appeared in touring shows, TV, and theme parks.
Helped dancers pursue college programs and professional careers.

What truly sets them apart is their heart. They lift your dancer, cheer on their progress, and celebrate every milestone.

Here’s to a season full of learning, laughter, and wonderful memories together!” 💛

— Miss Peaches

Recital Costume Measurements
Even though recital registration does not begin until October, we will begin measuring all students inSeptember. This way, we’ll have every dancer’s measurements on file if you decide to participate in our June2026 Recital. When measuring, we also take growth into account. Based on each student’s age and height, we add up to 3inches (student dependent) so that costumes will fit properly by recital time in June. We begin this process now because all costume orders must be placed in November to guarantee delivery in time for April Recital Photos.
Parking Lot Safety & Courtesy
We need everyone’s cooperation to keep our parking lot safe and functional for all. Unfortunately, we continue to see cars stopping in the right of way and drivers getting out without pulling into a designated parking space. This creates a serious problem by blocking in cars that are properly parked and restricting others from entering or exiting the lot. It is absolutely forbidden to leave your car in the right of way and not in a designated space, even for “just a minute.” If the lot is full and you need to come inside, there is ample parking along the street. Please use those spaces if no spots are available. Also, please remember that we are not the only business here. Our neighbors—including the nail salon, hair salon, dentist, and jiu jitsu studio—also need access for their clients. Let’s be considerate and respectful so that all businesses can run smoothly. Thank you for helping us keep the parking lot safe and accessible!

Save the Date – Halloween Party
