Dress Code Disclaimer

The dress code here at Inclusion is for the protection and safety of all students and staff. Dance and Gymnastics are highly physical activities, and baggy or loose clothing interferes with the student’s ability to practice or perform safely. Improper clothing risks the safety of others when working with partners, and also impacts the instructors ability to give safe corrections. If a student is wearing loose clothes, it prevents the instructor from seeing the students body alignment, and therefore makes it difficult to catch things the dancer is doing that could lead to injury or poor technique. The safety of our students is the number one priority at Inclusion Dance. The staff at Inclusion Dance will enforce this dress code. Students must have appropriate clothing and shoes to participate.

Dress Code by Style
