Important Attire Note for Woodland Aftercare Transfer Students
Any dancer being picked up from aftercare before class is considered a "transfer student" and will need to wear leggings over their leotard or change into a unitard for dance class (unless they're in Hip Hop). This helps protect modesty and makes the changing process smoother and quicker.
Please note: Our staff will not be assisting students with changing into leotards or putting on tights. If your dancer is not yet comfortable dressing independently, we encourage practicing at home to help them feel confident and ready for class!
