DRESS CODE

A student’s attire is a reflection of their discipline and respect for our art form. Body placement and refinement of line are also integral aspects of dance training. Our dress code allows our teachers to observe and correct the posture and alignment of our students. We ask that students come dressed prepared to dance in the appropriate dress code. No jewelry. No watches. No cell phones.

Find a list of online links to appropriate dance wear and our DW store merchandise at the bottom of this page.
