Uniform

For children in the Junior classes (Reception) and above, uniform is mandatory. For younger dancers it’s optional.

Full details of uniform below.

Nursery & Pre-School Ballet

Whilst uniform is not mandatory for children in the pre-school classes, we do find that they enjoy wearing it. 

However should you have your own tutu’s then this is fine and for boys, leggings or shorts is great. We do recommend ballet shoes are worn and these can be purchased from us.
