As a UK dancer, it’s always baffled me that studios in the US don’t have a dress code. It’s very rare to find a studio over here that doesn’t require uniform or all black to class.
At my studio, we have pretty much the exact same dress code as P21 (a ballet bun, black tights and Leo) only exception is hiphop/commercial class. My teacher says it’s because it makes us look more professional, having a tight bun stops us from constantly fixing hair during class, its easier to see our body & lines so she can critique us better and it just makes us look more professional.
I also think it’s so good that P21 are doing it based on the fact Leo & tights are much more appropriate than some of the outfits brands like TF have. It’s also much better for the kids who aren’t models for big dance brands, they probably feel better knowing they are all wearing the same things, as to me, you can’t really see much of a difference between a £10 or a £70 Leo.
need it to be known that i am canadian haha but yea ive always had the body suit and tights for ballet and all black for comp rehearsals, i just think the body suit and black tights for molly jazz vibes is ugly😭im also just a tights hater period though
also looking professional clearly hasnt been an issue for p21 as they still do super well at comps and conventions, so im surprised to see its a requirement for convention classes
