Late Payments

  • Students with overdue accounts may be unable to participate in classes until payment is received.

  • Continued non-payment may result in suspension or cancellation of enrolment.

Dress Code Policy

At Dream Danz Studios, we believe students dance best when they feel comfortable, confident, and free to move. Our dress code is designed to be simple and flexible, while still promoting safety and a professional class environment.

Studio Attire

  • Students are encouraged to wear comfortable dancewear that allows for safe movement and full range of motion.

  • Dream Danz Studios offers a Dream Danz logo t-shirt, which students are welcome (but not required) to wear to class.

  • Leggings, shorts, or dance pants are suitable unless otherwise advised for specific classes or performances.

  • Appropriate dance shoes must be worn for each class style (as advised by the teacher).

Hair & Presentation

  • Hair must be neat and securely tied up for all classes to ensure safety and clear visibility during instruction.

  • Hair should be kept off the face; buns, ponytails, or braids are all acceptable.

  • Jewellery should be minimal and secure. Large or dangling jewellery should not be worn in class.

General Guidelines

  • Clothing should be clean, modest, and suitable for a family-friendly environment.

  • Students should avoid clothing that restricts movement or poses a safety risk.

  • Teachers may request adjustments to attire if needed for safety or learning purposes.

Special Classes & Performances

  • Certain classes, exams, or performances may require specific attire or costumes.

  • Families will be notified in advance if additional requirements apply.

Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive studio where every dancer feels comfortable and ready to learn. Thank you for helping us maintain a positive and respectful environment at Dream Danz Studios.
