F or our 20th year, Gotta Dance Studio, Inc. has adopted a modified dress code. The idea of a dress code has been thoroughly researched and review by staff and parents. Below you will find our reasoning.
Why a Dress Code?
The use of a dress code greatly enhances the unity of the dance class and allows the instructor to work with the student on posture and proper alignment. Baggy clothes mask bad habits, making correction impossible. A dress code establishes good work ethic and respect. A dress code will also teach dancers discipline, helping with overall focus and energy. When they dress the part, dancers feel like dancers. Unity among dancers is created through a dress code with no one dancer standing out.
After much research and thought Gotta Dance has adopted a modified dress code which leaves some choice to the dancer. We believe that our dress code helps the overall experience of learning and makes for a more consistent and harmonious environment.
For all classes, hair must be pulled away from the face, preferably in a bun or pony tail. No loose jewelry. No gum. No t-shirts, shorts, or tennis shoes.
We respectfully ask parents and dancers to abide by the dress code presented here.
