All clients must read and adhere to the guidelines mandated by GDS which are published in the official Goddess Dance Studio™ Handbook.  Upon registration for class Handbooks are available for clients at the reception desk.

Dress Code

(For Pole Workshops Only)
Uniform Goddess Dance™ Shirts
Black Bottoms
High Heels or Dance Shoes such as Ballet Slippers                                              NO LOTION
No pants past beginner classes.
Advanced Classes must wear their specialized uniforms.       

Ballet requires a black leotard, tutu (your choice in colors) & ballet slippers.

We wear the uniform because it is a means of identifying ourselves openly with the principles to which we are committed-character development, aerial athletics training, and physical and mental fitness. Safety and building confidence is paramount at GDS.
