  • The established dress and hair codes will be strictly enforced.

  • Students not meeting the specified attire and hair dress codes will be asked to sit and watch class until dress and hair codes have been met.

  • Uniforms create a structured, disciplined class environment, and have a positive effect on a student’s attitude in class.

  • Most professional & pre-professional organizations do require uniforms for dance classes.

  • Uniforms reflect quality training & atmosphere and help to instill school pride.

  • Teachers need to see a student’s body in order to help with proper body alignment.
