Dress Code
Our dress code is in place for teachers to be able to correct dancers on posture and alignment. It also helps prevent injury to the ankles, knees, hips, back, shoulders, and neck. Teachers must be able to see that the bones are aligned and the proper muscles are engaged. This allows for a safer, more complete dance education, and longevity in your dancer’s body.
