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
Jewellery - No dangling earrings, piercings, rings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, or loose jewellery. Stud earrings are acceptable.
Cover-ups - Students are to wear sweat pants or coverings when in the lobby or outside areas.
Shoes - No regular street shoes in dance studio. See below for shoe-ware requirements.
Please view our individual class uniform requirements below

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 Lance if you have any questions.
