STUDENT UNIFORM
Participation in the AbunDance Elite training program requires adherence to the program's uniform policy. Such compliance will encourage the discipline and mindfulness required to instill a strong foundation that prepares our children for excellence in the Arts and in Life! Appropriate dance attire encourages freedom of movement and allows the teacher to see the student’s alignment and make corrections as necessary - a key element to improvement. Uniformity reduces possible distraction for both the students and instructors allowing for a more focused teaching and learning environment.
All students have a uniform based on their class level. All students must wear their perspective uniforms for each and every class. Below you will find the list of items required. Uniform items+ MUST be purchased at the AbunDance Boutique, via online or telephone transaction, or onsite by appointment only . Items will be available for pickup by appointment during designated times. Please leave one to two weeks of time after you have placed your order to receive the items.
No street shoes are allowed on the studio floor. Sneakers used for AbunDance classes are expected to be dedicated to the purpose of dance performance and not utilized for everyday wear.
