DRESS CODE
A dress code is one way students show respect for their peers and their instructors. It demonstrates an understanding of how a dance class operates, with minimal distractions and the ability to move easily for any combination of steps or choreography.
A dress code should not make the dancer feel uncomfortable but rather confident and in the right mindset of the class he or she is taking. It also helps identify the classes/levels that the dancers are in for the instructors.
