Students need to abide by a dress code for the following reasons:

• A neat, tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, teachers, and the art of dance.
• Teachers must be able to see the dancer’s body outline clearly to make proper corrections on posture, alignment, etc.

Additional notes:

• Hair must be secured appropriately and tied off the face and neck for all dance styles.
