M'Lanie Hunter Dance

Dance utilizes the whole body. It is therefore necessary for a dance teacher to be able to clearly see a student's legs, arms, neck, hips, etc to ensure that the proper technique is being executed.

 

Students should take pride in their appearance and should dress well for class. It goes without saying, but if you dress well, you perform well!
