 Why is there a dress code at Norwalk Dance Center?

-The simple leotard, tights, and skirt combination makes it possible for the instructors to see the dancer’s bodies so they can make the proper corrections.

-Young dancers are often distracted by their own dancewear. -Learning to dance and work together as a team can be more easily achieved by removing the distraction of different dancewear.


Students may not participate in class if dress code is not followed. Exceptions are:

• Newly enrolled students- New enrollments have a total of 2 class weeks to purchase correct dance attire for class
