Main St Funk Uniform Policy

At Main St Funk, we believe that wearing the correct uniform helps our dancers put their best foot forward. A uniform promotes confidence, discipline, and focus in class while creating a sense of belonging and pride within our community. It also ensures teachers can see body alignment clearly, allowing them to give accurate corrections and support each dancer’s progress.

We are not overly strict about hair, but it must always be off the face and neat. For ballet and other technical styles, a slick bun is encouraged, while for hip hop, a ponytail or other secure style is suitable.
