WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR TO THE STUDIO?
The Bloomsburg School of Dance has a dress code that students are required to follow. This dress code is in place to ensure the safety and comfort of students, as well as to present them in the best possible way while in the studio. Following the dress code helps create a professional and cohesive environment for dance training.
