Why Dress Code Matters
Dress code is an essential part of every dance class. Proper dance attire not only supports safe and effective movement, but also allows instructors to clearly see body alignment and technique. It also promotes unity among dancers and demonstrates respect for the art of dance.
General Guidelines for All Classes
- All dancers must keep their hair secured and away from the face.
- Street clothes are not permitted in class, with the exception of hip hop, tap and adult classes.
- Jewelry should not be worn during class.
- Dancers are encouraged to wear an appropriate cover-up when traveling to and from class.
- Please label all shoes and bags with the dancer’s name.
