Dress Code

We are inclusive at Gumnut Dance. If your child requires reasonable adjustments to the dress code, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Most dress code items are available for purchase at Gumnut Dance. Items listed in blue are not stocked at Gumnut Dance and will need to be purchased Attitude Dancewear or Bloch.

During classes, we kindly request that students avoid wearing watches, jewelry, and safety pins, as they can be distracting. Dance shoes should never be worn outside to preserve their quality and cleanliness. Students are encouraged to secure their hair neatly away from their faces.
