DRESS CODE
Dance is a disciplined art.
Therefore, ULTIMATE DANCE does require our students to adhere to our dress code. Our teachers need to see the dancer and not be distracted by tulle skirts, crazy colors, or pants and ill fitting shorts! Dancers who want a proper dance education should be use to a dress code, or those with us for the first time will come to appreciate it.
