The dress code is an important part of the discipline instilled in a young dancer. Dancers should stand out in class by virtue of their hard work, not by their attire. Dancers in Levels I through Advanced may not wear skirts, baggy T-shirts, or shorts. All leg and body warmers must be tight fitting.
