SAFETY

Wearing the proper form-fitting attire for class allows dancers to have adequate mobility and to safely participate in class.

​

RESPECT

Following the dress code takes effort and shows that the dancers are serious about improving and developing their dance skills. Wearing proper dress code helps signal that they are ready for a more structured class, not just playtime. Adhering to the dress code also shows that the dancer shows respect towards the dance style they are studying.

​

CONFIDENCE AND ATTITUDE

Similarly to on stage, the right clothes in class can make a dancer feel more confident in the style they are dancing. When a dancer feels they are dressed for the class, they often feel more confident and willing to take on the challenge of any new step or skill.

 

INCREASED FOCUS

Each dress code is chosen so the dancer can move to the best of their ability and focus on their steps, not on what they are wearing. Clothes that don’t match dress code, not having the correct shoes, and hair falling in a dancer’s face can distract dancers and pull their attention away from learning. 

BODY POSITIONING

When dancers wear proper dress code, it helps the instructor and the dancer better understand how their bodies move and what muscle groups are involved in each movement.
