For many parents and students, adhering to a dress code is a whole new world to get used to! For others, it’s something they’ve done for years but always wondered about—as in, why is it necessary? At Forevermore, the dress code is a pretty significant piece of the puzzle when it comes to fostering a positive learning environment. Here’s a closer look at the reasons behind our dress code requirements:
- Safety—This is our number-one priority with the dress code. Many types of street clothing, shoes, and jewelry can be hazards in the dance classroom, and our dress code ensures we take safety seriously.
- Unity—In dance class we are a team, and the dress code fosters this mindset. Dancers are all able to practice and perform with the feeling that everyone is important and included.
- Discipline—Dance is based on discipline, and the dress code allows students to be more focused and less distracted. This helps everyone’s progress.
Dance dress codes—just like sports uniforms—allow students to feel their common ground and show respect for their teachers and environment. And because safety is prioritized and distractions are limited, more learning can take place!
