Dress Code for Studio of Dance

Dancers work harder and stay more focused when properly dressed for class. We know and appreciate the fact that dancewear is an investment; therefore, we offer a practical, long-lasting and reasonably priced online storefront at DiscountDance.com.

All students are required to follow the dress code, including wearing the proper clothing and footwear. Hair must be secured with no hair in the face (unless the teacher specifies differently). A teacher may assist with securing hair away from a student’s face if needed. Jeans and jewelry are not allowed. The dress code should be followed as it aids the teachers to observe body alignment without distraction. Our dress code is as follows:
