Full uniform must be worn to class and for exams. It is important that the teacher is able to see the dancer's movements clearly and the uniform's are designed specifically for that purpose. It also ensures that the dancer is focused in class and therefore will get the most out of each lesson. Hair must be off the face so that it does not distract the student.
