2022-2023 Studio Dans Dress Code
​
Why a dress code?
A dress code (we also like to think of it as the 'team uniform') promotes focused learning in the classroom. When all dancers wear the same 'uniform', no student is distracted by what their fellow classmate is wearing. The dress code is designed so that teachers can make certain that the dancer is utilizing proper alignment and correct muscles in class. This helps the dancer to progress at a faster rate. The dress code also reinforces the style of the dance genre being taught.
Hair must be tied back and secured off the dancer’s face for all classes.
