IGNITE DANCE ACADEMY DRESS CODE & UNIFORMS
Dance training clothes are meant to keep the body warm, allow free movement, as well as give the teacher the ability to see the placement of the student’s limbs, muscle work, and proper positioning. Without this ability, the student may learn bad habits and patterns, which could then lead to injury. At the same time, clothes must not be distracting, immodest, nor hinder proper movement. If you have any questions about appropriate attire, please consult with Ignite Dance staff.
ALL CLASSES (Dance Uniform Cambridge)

SHOES (MANDATORY)
NON-MARKING sturdy athletic sneakers (no thin canvas ‘tennis” shoes) for good foot and ankle support.
It is very important to keep our dance floor in tip-top condition, so all shoes worn must have a NON-MARKING sole, preferably black.
Rebel Sport have a good supply. Plus there are online options like www.gosport.nz
To begin with, if your child is new to Hip-hop and you are unsure whether they will continue, it is ok if they go in bare-feet.
However, for support for young bones, athletic shoes are preferable.
Check with the teacher if you have any questions.
HAIR
