Dress Code

PRINTED CLASS DRESS CODE LISTS are available at the studio!  You may purchase your dance wear items at the following locations:

Dancemasters (Manotick), Malabar (Nepean), Brio (Ottawa), Lululemon (Ottawa) or now conveniently ONLINE through our studio with www.costumemanager.com (pick up your class dress code list, ID code and instructions at the studio office)

It is important for students to abide by a dress code policy for the following reasons: 

• A neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, teacher, and the art of dance.

• Teachers must be able to see the dancer's body outline clearly in order to make proper corrections on posture, alignment, etc.

• Hair must be properly secured and tied up off of the face and neck for all styles of dance.

• Jewelry must not be loose or dangling.

• Gum chewing is not allowed due to danger of choking and appearance.

• No loose fitting pants, blue jeans or t-shirts (they are not dance attire).

• No costumes are allowed in class unless a dress up day is announced by the individual teacher.
