Uniform

We have a required uniform for all classes, designed to keep dancers safe, comfortable, and looking their best. Our main focus is on keeping within our school colours and brand, while ensuring everyone wears the correct dance gear. As long as dancers are in safe, appropriate clothing, we don’t mind if leotards vary slightly – this allows room for individual expression. Many of our personalised uniform items can be ordered directly through us, but you’re also welcome to purchase elsewhere as long as the colours and style match our requirements.

We encourage individuality within our dress code, especially as dancers progress. For example, in senior ballet classes, students may explore different leotards and ballet skirts – there are so many beautiful sets available that make you feel truly lovely wearing them! However, when it comes to exams, we do have a strict uniform policy that we ask all dancers to follow, to ensure immaculate presentation and consistency.
