RNB Uniform - Why wear a uniform?
A uniform allows students and instructors to focus on position and movement without distraction. Wearing the correct attire for class is very important as it allows the dancer to ‘feel’ the style of dance they are performing.
Different classes at RNB require a different uniform. For example Hip Hop allows and insists on the fashion of baggy clothes, but baggy clothes in the wrong class can result in bad habits and injury. Jewelry getting caught and flying hair can hurt!
Teachers need to see the line of the body and correct placement in order for students to improve their technique. The correct uniform ensures that students are suitably dressed for class and clothing and footwear are safe and appropriate.
A classical uniform can give a sense of belonging, class unity and pride in appearance. It also reinforces the discipline and respect inherent to the art. The tradition and etiquette of Ballet instills self-esteem in young dancers.
A relaxed approach to classes can also carry over to performances; the dancers are not at the standard they could be. Guest teachers and choreographers working with students are much more impressed with students who take pride in their appearance. This gives a lasting first impression and shows how enthusiastic they will approach a class.
Uniform presents a unified and prestigious look to observers, further enhancing the professional standard. RNB teachers will be enforcing our Dress Code.
