Dress Code

The importance of a Dress Code

At UVDC we believe that wearing studio uniforms give students a sense of belonging to our family as well as creating an identity for our studio in the greater community. Uniformity in dance wear allows the teacher to assess how well the students are implementing the technique being taught, problems with alignment, and other important aspects of dance training. *Please do not purchase any dance wear or shoes prior to a trial class with UVDC! (Dance attire and required shoes and tights are available for purchase at the studio for registered UVDC students.)
