Student Dress Code
Range of Motion ENCOURAGES all dancers to follow the CDC Guidlines and wear protective masks in class if not vaccinated. This allows the teachers to work more effectively with each student on alignment and correction. Please arrive in street clothes covering dance clothing or cover-ups. We do not recommend wearing only leotards and tights to and from the building. Dressing rooms will be available.
