Dress Code

(Required Dance Attire)

Why does your studio require a dress code?

Most formal dance schools request and enforce a set dress code. This is an important part of "learning to become a dancer". A dress code ensures that a teacher will be able to see a dancer’s alignment and positioning. The teacher needs to be able to see a dancer's mistakes. Baggy clothing and loose hair can mask poor technique and be dangerous for both the dancer and other students in the class. Most dance studios require students to wear a leotard and tights for ballet, sometimes requiring pink or light-colored tights in order to make the lines of the legs visible. Hair should be pulled back and away from the face and eyes. Form-fitting dancewear is also a requirement in many jazz, tap or modern classes.

A dress code will also teach students discipline, helping with overall focus and energy. By "dressing the part," dancers feel like dancers. Dress codes can also create unity among the dancers instead of causing a few dancers to stand out, much like a school uniform policy. Dress codes go a long way in minimizing distractions, and help give classes a unified look.
