J’adore DANCE Dress Code 2022-2023

Dancers thrive off of the sense of community and belonging that uniforms create. They feel better about themselves as dancers, which allows them to dance to their fullest, distraction free! To help provide a hassle free shopping experience for our families, J’adore DANCE has added an online virtual store. We welcome you to browse through our online store by clicking the below button.

Please note that our store does not feature dance shoes, only dance attire. For professional dance products, we recommend using Pointe Dance Boutique in Midlothian or Ellman’s of Carytown in Richmond.

NEW THIS SEASON! J’adore DANCE has added skin toned tights to our store for dancers who feel more comfortable wearing flesh toned tights. Pink tights have always been a uniform for ballet and will remain an option for all dancers, as well.
