Dress Code

A uniform is fantastic way to alleviate stress in knowing what to wear for class. It also allows for visibility when correcting posture and technique.

GMB prefers all students to follow the dress code. It is intended for any student, male and female presenting, and non-binary.

Hair

All dancers should have hair pulled back and out of their face and eyes. This is important for safety and for correct technique. Hair whipping in your eyes during turns is no fun!
