Why we have a uniform based on Levels

Hughson Ballet's uniform is set so that the instructors can easily identify a dancer's level in class along with being able to see the dancer's body alignment to make any necessary corrections. Having a uniform look amongst the dancers allows for more attention to detail from instructors and no distractions. This provides the best learning and teaching environment.
