Class Attire

Nutmeg's Dance & Theatre Co. 2023/2024

Below is a list of the required attire for all classes. We ask that dancers please be prepared in the proper attire, consistently, every week. We understand that the first few weeks of Fall are super busy, so we understand if your dancer may not have everything they need for the first class; but we do ask that your dancer come in the proper attire as soon as you are able. Thanks!


We have set up a Nimbly shop for your convenience. While you do not have to purchase items here, it is an easy way to just click the class you’re in, and see options that are perfect for our dress code. Here is the link to our shop: https://www.shopnimbly.com/NutmegsDance


If you have any questions at all, please reach out anytime - NutmegsDance@gmail.com


*Please note that we will have the shoe swap table up for the first few weeks of dance. Feel free to hold off on purchasing shoes to check the table. If you have shoes your dancer has outgrown, you are welcome to add them to the shoe swap table if you’d like. (Important note - please do not use previously worn pointe shoes, these need to be customized to your dancer’s feet for their safety - thank you!)
