DRESS CODE

It's important for students to abide by our dress code policy for the following reasons:

A neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, teachers, and the art of dance.
For most styles, 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, except for hip-hop choreography and breaking.
Jewelry must not be loose or dangling.
Gum chewing is not allowed due to danger of choking.
No loose-fitting pants, blue jeans, or t-shirts, except in hip-hop choreography or breaking.
No costumes, tutus, or non-ballet skirts are allowed in class, with the exception of designated spirit weeks.
