Hip Hop:

*Students would be able to wear a canvas style shoe similar to Converse brand, though any brand would work.
*They would need to be black with white trim and white toe, high top or low top would be up to the dancer.
*Pay special attention to the underside of the shoe making sure that it is white or rubber soled, not black.

*These shoes would need to be for dance class only, and we would be very strict on that. If a dancer came to class with dirty shoes (outside of dancing wear and tear) they would not be able to wear them in class and would dance barefoot until they had new shoes.
