DRESS CODE
Our dress code is designed to foster focus, inclusiveness, and equality among all dancers. By adhering to a uniform dress-wear, we create an environment where teachers can assess technique, alignment, and other crucial aspects of dance training effectively. Let's embrace the dress code with confidence and unity.
Note: Young dancers who are just trying it out may wear anything comfortable and borrow shoes from our front desk for the first few weeks prior to parents investing in the dress code items.
WHY HAVE A DRESS CODE?
Having a dress code:
- Helps a dancer understand they are going to a structured class (compared to unstructured playtime). When dancers put on their uniform, they get into a specific mindset before dance class.
- Ensures that the clothing is not a distraction during class.
- Faculty needs to be able to see the dancers’ bodies to make necessary corrections.
- Ensures that each dancer has the same brand, style and color of shoes and tights for on stage performances.
- Uniformity on stage during a performance starts with dress
DRESS CODE REMINDERS
Students are required to carry their dance-wear, shoes, and belongings in a designated dance bag.
Please remember to label your child's bag and all its contents with their name.
Let's keep our dance-wear in excellent condition by regularly laundering and maintaining it.
