Student Dress Code
Range of Motion requires that all dancers to wear protective masks and be in uniform to participate in class. 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 not be available at this time, unfortunately.
