Dress Code

At Jan's School of Dance, we believe a dress code is important because it helps ensure safety, discipline, and uniformity in the classroom. Proper attire allows our teachers to clearly see students' movements and form, which is essential for giving correct feedback and preventing injury. It also fosters a sense of community and professionalism, as everyone is dressed appropriately for the activity.
