Dress Code

The Moving Company maintains a dress code to encourage an optimal learning environment. Our dress code enables the student to move properly and with free range of motion; allows the teacher to quickly identify and correct alignment and safety issues; reduces “visual noise” within the classroom to support student focus; reduces social and economic barriers within the studio; shows respect for teacher and classmates by taking your time in class seriously, fosters self-discipline and personal responsibility; and creates pride in engaging with the long history of the art of dance!
