Dress code will be worn as the foundation for performance costuming.  
We believe in an inclusive environment that respects young people’s gender identification and preferred expression. All dress code notes below can be applied to students’ self-identified gender. Please speak with your Program Director if you have any questions or concerns regarding this or another aspect of dress code.
Repeated violations of the dress code will prompt a meeting with the family and can be grounds for dismissal from the program.
Whenever possible, dancers should arrive with their dress code under their clothes. If a dancer needs to change their clothes, they can use the bathrooms.  Locker rooms are used in a limited way for advanced team dancers only, and we discourage use of the locker rooms for the student body at large in order to ensure privacy and safety.
