Sweater Weather: 

As the colder months approach, we want to remind everyone to stay cozy while keeping in dress code! For students ages 5 and up or in level 1 and up, TBDC offers approved sweaters and jackets for purchase to ensure students stay warm and ready to dance.

Please note that outside sweaters, school jackets, and bulky or non-form-fitting sweatshirts are not permitted in class. Students will be kindly asked to remove any items that don’t align with the TBDC dress code.
