DRESS CODE
We chose to uphold a dress code for it's variety of benefits. It not only
helps teach our dancers discipline, but it also allows our teachers to see the
dancer's movements so they can make the necessary corrections to help
the dancer improve. For certain classes, baggy clothes can be distracting
and even be a hinderance to our dancers.
