Dress Code
Why is there a dress code?
-
The simple uniforms make it possible for faculty to see the students' bodies so they can make the appropriate corrections.
-
Learning to work together and work as a team is accomplished more easily with the removal of distraction caused by different attire.
-
Young dancers are often distracted by their own dance attire. Tutus and colorful leotards can become the focus, rather than the instructor.
-
Choreography is much easier for faculty when dancers are similarly dressed.
Jewelry (including watches) should not be worn in class as it poses a safety risk. Only small stud earrings are allowed during dance class.
Underwear should not be worn with leotard and tights.
Tights serve the same purpose and are much more comfortable when dancing.
