Dance Attire

We believe that looking your best will aid you in becoming your best. The dress code will be followed by all students attending BKSD. We feel that it is very important for students to be ‘properly covered’ so as not to make themselves or others in the class feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is studio policy that no students wear outfits that expose the midriff in any way, as well as low dance pants that expose the underwear line. As in every activity in which we participate, the appropriate dress code is implemented for a reason. For dancing, wearing proper dance wear to class allows ease of movement, as well as providing the teacher with the ability to detect and correct any physical problems students may have with their body alignment. It is suggested that articles of clothing and shoes be labeled with the student’s name, in order to minimize lost items.

Please remember Proper dance attire only. NO STREET WEAR ~ NO JEWELRY ~ NO GUM

Hair
:

Bun, braid (pinned up) French braid (pinned up), ponytail (placed in a hair snood) are the easiest options. There are endless options for the hair. Please work to keep the hair pulled up and tidy and out of your face. Having hair in the dancer’s face when working on turns can be most distracting to both the dancer and the dancers around them.
