What can I wear to my class?
July 20, 2016Dress Codes
When you enrol in a dance or performing arts class, it is important that you understand how you should present yourself before you attend your first class. A reputable studio will enforce a dress code which defines the overall appearance of the student in terms of clothing, footwear, hairstyle and accessories.
At the Fraser Valley Academy of Dance, we specify a dress code for each class type (such as ballet, contemporary, or tap) as well as each level (such as Primary, Grade 1, or Advanced).
What to Buy
Each class has a Class Information Sheet which details the dress code, and provides an image of the dress code, a description of the class and an overview of class policies.
Class Information Sheets can be found on the Class Dress Codes page of our website.
The Dress Codes – Allowed Brands document lists the specific brands and styles that are acceptable for each class is also provided to ensure that any out-of-school purchases are the correct ones. In most cases, there is an economy brand as well as a higher-end brand to give families more options.
The Dress Codes – Allowed Brands document can be found on the Class Dress Codes page of our website.
