CLASS ATTIRE
Having a dance uniform, teaches discipline. By having a set uniform that must be worn to classes and rules on how hair must be or the right shoes to wear, creates unity among the studio. Appearance is an integral part of discipline in dance classes. Among other things, it gives students one less thing to worry about and lets them concentrate and focus on learning and having fun in class!
