Dress Code 202 1-2022

It’s important for students abide by a dress code policy for the following reasons:

● A neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, teacher, and the art of dance.

● Teachers must be able to see the dancer's body outline clearly in order to make proper corrections on posture, alignment, etc.

● All leotards, and skirted leotards must be purchased through the discount dance link listed below.

● Shoes and tights may be purchased through any company as long as they meet the dress code requirements. Conservatory dancers must use Bloch or Capezio ballet shoes.

● Hair must be properly secured in a ballet bun unless otherwise stated.

● Underwear should not be worn.

● Jewelry is not allowed.

● Gum chewing is not allowed due to danger of choking and appearance.

● No costumes are allowed in class unless a dress up day is announced by the studio.
