Like many other studios our studio has a specific dress code that students follow. There are several reasons for this:
- For younger students a set uniform provides one less distraction in class. Sure rhinestones and flowers are pretty adornments, but to a toddler they can take their focus away from the class and sometimes cause meltdowns when they like an outfit better than their own.
- With a dress code we know there is nothing that is going to be worn that will inhibit full participation in the class. Jeans do not always stretch, tops ride up and bottoms fall down. None of that is a worry when we are all in dress code, allowing class to continue on smoothly.
- In our older dancers, dress code allows us to see their alignment, allowing for more efficient corrections when the teacher can see what is going on,
- Levels of dress code give everyone something to look forward to. Who doesn’t want to be like the big girls? Having a few different levels of dress code give everyone something to work for and be excited about!
