​Dress Code

WDA’s dress code ensures that our instructors will be able to see dancers’ alignment and positioning. Baggy clothing can mask bad habits, making corrections impossible. We also require skin colored or pink tights in order to make the lines of the leg more visible.
Our dress code will also teach students discipline, helping with overall focus and energy. Dress codes go a long way in minimizing distractions and help give classes a unified look.
During cold winter months, (December-March) Students are permitted to wear the following for the warm-up of their FIRST CLASS of the night or First class after a break longer than 30 minutes: Long sleeve, form-fitting sweater or shirt (NO HOODIES!) and form-fitting leggins or leg warmers (black or pink). Competitive WDA warm-ups are also permitted to be worn. If the teacher finds the warm-up to be too baggy, student will be instructed to remove. Students must take off the warm-ups immediately following warm-ups or will receive a dress code violation.
Students who do not abide by our dress code will be warned twice. On the third infraction, and any infraction thereafter, they will not be permitted to participate in their dance classes and will be required to take notes on the technique/choreography they are missing.
