Dress Code

EDA Dress Policy:

Why a Dress Code?

-Tradition and respect for the art

-It is essential for reinforcing in students a sense of respect and discipline.

-It reinforces the integrity of EDA’s dance education program.

-To provide the best instruction, it is crucial for teachers to be able to see the dancer’s body placement  so to make corrections.
