How important is a dress code in dance class? In addition to saving dance parents time and money, the dress code: 1) Helps a young dancer understand they are going to a structured class (compared to unstructured playtime). 2) Ensures that the clothing is not a distraction during class. 3) Ensures that the dancer is appropriately dressed to be necessarily covered. 4) Ensures that each dancer has the same style and color of shoes for on stage performances. Stage Door’s dress code is mandatory. (all can be purchased through Stage Door at www.stagedoor-dance.com or other dance supply source.)
