How to Dress Kids for Ballet

This is Linda Brown on behalf of Expert Village. I'd now like to talk with you about dress code at the studio. Some studios have a particular dress code and other do not. Actually, the attire that a student dresses in for dance class is very important. Self-discipline and dance go hand in hand. The dress code is an important part of their training because it sets the tone and the mood of the class putting the students in the right frame of mind to start learning. There are really some specific reasons why the studios require a particular dress. Tights enable the teacher to see the muscular nature to the legs. It allows them to see if the child is turning out correctly. The leotard allows the teacher to check the torso and see if it's in proper alignment. Having the child's hair pulled up and off their face exposes their neck, their head, and their spine so that the teacher can monitor its proper usage. Also, keeping the hair out of the face just eliminates a lot of distraction. A dress code can help you child learn faster. The teacher can make better corrections if the students all look the same way, so that what's catching that teacher's eye is improper technique. Not that hair falling in the face of that child that's in sweat pants that day.
