Uniform

Requirements

To make a dancer I  not only teach the steps I also prepare many of my students for careers in the arts.  Part of this is an understanding of the disciplines and practices required to make a dancer.  Uniform is part of this and is universally expected and required.  Hair should be in a ballet bun and correct uniform should be worn to enable the lines to be seen throughout the body.   Only natural nail varnish is to be worn, and tattoos must be covered. Bodies should be covered appropriately and effort in presentation should be made as a sign of commitment and respect.

Uniform Ordering

Uniform is usually handed out within a week of ordering but occasionally some items can take a little longer due to suppliers.  If you have any queries about sizes please add a note to the order with some guidance such as “my daughter is age 5 but we usually buy her age 3-4 clothes”  Miss Lisa will then be able to correct any sizing issues.

Watch out for our pop up shop which opens at busy times.
