Dancers must be 7-9 years old by July 7 to enroll in Ripple Beginner Variety.

In the Beginner Variety Class, dancers ages 7-9 will explore a new style each week and discover what they love! Classes rotate between ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop.

This is the perfect opportunity for beginners to decide which styles they want to train in during the school year.  YOU will be confident in your choice of school-year classes when you know which styles most appeal to your dancer.

Dress Code | Every student receives the standard class uniform annually as part of your Super Simple Monthly Fees! Alternate leotard or t-shirt styles may be available at an additional cost based on the class level. Only Pure Dance Works logo wear is allowed in class.

Shoes are not included but can be fitted and purchased on-site at Reggie’s Shoppe. 

Because styles rotate weekly, the dress code is slightly more relaxed than school year classes. Here's how to dress for Summer Variety Classes:

  • Apparel | All Ripple dancers may wear any combination of Pure Dance Works apparel (tops and bottoms) to the Variety Classes for summer.
     
  • Hair | Hair does not need to be in a bun, but it must be completely secured off of the face and neck. Please pin back bangs and side wisps.
     
  • Please No: jewelry, accessories, other clothing or undergarments that show. Only skin-toned dance undergarments may be worn with a leotard and must be covered entirely.
     
  • Shoes | For summer classes, no particular dance shoe is needed. Any soft dance shoes or socks are ok. The following are recommended when available:
     
Class Recommended Acceptable
Ballet Ballet Shoes Jazz shoes or socks
Tap Tap Shoes Ballet shoes, tap shoes, or socks
Jazz Jazz Shoes Ballet shoes or socks
Hip Hop Clean Sneakers Ballet shoes, jazz shoes, or socks

 

You may ask to look through our boxes of used ballet, tap, and jazz shoes BEFORE the class date if you want to try and find a pair to borrow for a specific class.

Pro Tip: Socks are always OK for Summer Variety Classes!
