DRESS CODE POLICY
Students who do not come properly dressed to class (including hair) will not be allowed to participate. Street clothing, sloppy layers, and messy hair distracts students from learning and creates a cluttered atmosphere.
Please remember that dancing at any level is an art form and a discipline, and should be treated as such.
All students must have proper dance clothing and shoes before your first class!
