Why a dress code matters

Dance is a discipline that depends on the teacher being able to see how a student is moving. Loose clothing hides posture, alignment, and turnout, and dangling jewelry or untied hair can become a safety hazard during turns and across-the-floor work.

The dress code below is required for all classes. If you have questions about a specific class or need help finding the right item, our office staff is happy to point you to the right size and supplier.
