Sandra Dixon Dress Code

 

Question: Why enforce a dress code?

Answer: Signing up for dance classes for the first time is exciting.  There are so many different choices and styles of leotards to choose from.  I must admit, it can be tempting to fill your child’s dance bag with lots of cute new leotards and tutus, however, please make sure you check with the instructor first.  Dress codes serve a purpose and are set in place for many different reasons specific to the teacher or class being taught. Here are a few reasons why:

  • Young dancers are often distracted by their own dancewear.  Large skirts and/or tutus become the dancer’s focus instead of the instructor.
  • A dress code ensures a teacher will be able to see a dancer’s alignment and positioning.  Baggy clothing can mask bad habits, making corrections impossible.  Pink or light-colored tights help make the lines of the legs visible which is essential for the teacher when making corrections.
  • A dress code will teach dancers discipline, responsibility and commitment to the class.  Dress codes are similar to school uniform policies; they go a long way in minimizing distractions and help give the class a uniformed look.

Thank you for supporting Sandra Dixon’s dress code.  It’s been created to promote the proper attitude and respect for her dance classes.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.  Please review the dress policy before purchasing new attire and shoes.

 

The following guidelines apply to ALL dancers:

  • Hair must be securely tied back in a ponytail, braid, or bun. Short hair must be pinned back and out of your face.
  • NO jewelry is to be worn in class. Not only is it a distraction, it dangerous and items can be lost. Post/Stud earrings are acceptable.
  • Please label all shoes and other related dance items with your name so lost items may be returned. The teacher is not responsible for lost items.
  • Please come to class ready to dance.
  • Make dancing a valuable and rewarding experience

Remember,                         

Dance lessons are life lessons
