Dance class is about more than learning steps. Students learn posture, alignment, musicality, and how to move gracefully before learning steps and choreography. The proper dancewear allows the Instructor a full view of a dancer’s posture and use of muscles.
A dark colored leotard against pink tights shows hip alignment. Leotards with short sleeves or thin straps allow the Instructor to see the shoulders and back for postural corrections. Pink tights give the Instructor a view of the leg muscles, knee alignment, and use of the ankle.
Dancers must have their hair up and away from the face and neck. This is important for balance and spotting during turns. The Instructor needs to see a dancer’s ears and shoulders for corrections.
The proper dancewear instills discipline, respect for class, and a sense of belonging. It makes the students feel like members of a team -- and that their dancing is the primary focus.
