Although we encourage students to express themselves, it is important for students to abide by a dress code. We have a dress code policy for the following reasons:
-
A neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for the students, teacher, and the art of dance. How a dancer feels will affect how they dance.
-
Teachers must be able to see the dancer’s body outline clearly in order to make proper corrections on posture, alignment, etc.
Please be sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
-
NO JEWELRY
-
NO GUM
-
NO JEANS
-
NO EXCEPTIONS
-
Unless stated otherwise HAIR should be pulled into a bun or ponytail.
-
Small ear studs are the only acceptable jewelry.
-
Our Dress Code is Mandatory for all ages. Your dancer will not be able to participate if they are not dressed in the right attire.
