*New for the 2024-2025 Dance Season:*

BDC is using Revolution Dance Attire for our regulation dress code for the 2024-2025 Dance Season.

Scroll down to see a bullet-point list of items needed for your dancer’s class.

The regulation dress code does not pertain to Preschool Classes. Please check the Class Attire list for your preschooler’s class below.

Required Leotard Style and Color: Starting in Kindergarten, each group of dance classes is assigned to wear a specific leotard and a specific leotard color to dance class. This leotard must be worn at dance class for those to whom it applies. Please purchase the exact regulation leotard for your dancer’s class through our Nimbly Shop.

Other Items: Although you can buy all your dancer’s class attire through the BDC Nimbly Shop, it is not required to do so. The only item required to purchase through the Shop is the leotard.* If you would like to purchase shoes, tights, dance shorts/leggings, and other accessories elsewhere, please see your class’s specific Class List (below) for details on what exactly to purchase.

Sizing: If you are ordering from the Nimbly Shop and are not being fitted in-studio (see below to make an appointment), use this as a guide for sizing:

  • For canvas Jazz shoes, size up 3-4 sizes from your street shoe size (Progressions, Company, & Competition Team).*

  • For leather Jazz shoes, they seem to run according to the sizing guides (Foundations & Jazz, Tap, Go).

  • For Ballet shoes, size up 2 sizes from your street shoe.

  • For Tap shoes, they seem to run according to the sizing guides.

  • For the Elective Lavender Tank Leotard (AcroDance, Hip Hop, and Jazz, Tap, Go): It runs small, so size up

    *For those on Performance Company and Competition Team, please purchase the tan canvas jazz shoes found in Progression Core Classes on the Nimbly Shop. For Competition Team, Miss Carmen will be in touch about specific tights to purchase.
