Dress code

It’s important for students abide by a dress code policy for the following reasons:

• A neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, teacher, and the art of dance.
• Teachers must be able to see the dancer’s body outline clearly in order to make proper corrections on posture, alignment, etc.
• Hair must be properly secured and tied up off of the face and neck for all styles of dance.
• No dangling jewelry, necklaces or bracelets are allowed.
• Gum chewing is not allowed due to danger of choking and appearance.
• No loose fitting pants, blue jeans or t-shirts (they are not dance attire).
• No costumes are allowed in class unless a dress up day is announced by the individual teacher.
