Dress Code

All Students should dress in proper dance attire for class. For the first 2 weeks, we will be lenient with our policies, but after that, we appreciate your cooperation with our policies. A proper dress code is put in place for many different reasons. It helps students better focus and feel like they are in a dance class. If they come dressed in what they wore on the playground that day, they will most-likely treat it like the playground. Dance is a structured environment where discipline and work ethic is a huge focus. Dressing properly is also a sign of respect to your teacher. Teachers can clearly correct and address body alignment when these procedures are followed. With that being said, every style of dance is different. You always want to DRESS THE PART. What you wear for a Ballet Class will be entirely different from what you wear in Hip-Hop. You want your dancer to dress their best and be prepared for that style because it truly increases the joy and overall experience for everyone!
