Dress Code

Dress code preserves the integrity of Move Dance Academy's artistic direction, eliminates distraction, establishes uniformity, promotes discipline, confidence and poise, contributes to the safety of our dancers, and allows our dancers to feel a part of a cohesive unit. Dress code attire allows instructors to see dancers' alignment and form to better correct.

Trial Lessons

Dancers do not need to be in dress code for trial lessons, however, it is highly recommended to help your dancer feel more comfortable in their new environment as well as get the full class experience.
