DRESS CODE The proper dress code prevents distraction in the studio while promoting discipline and uniformity. It is meant to allow the teacher to monitor correct body alignment, muscle usage, and coordination. Furthermore, adhering to the dress code and a general neatness of appearance demonstrates respect for peers, teachers, the organization, and the art form as a whole.
