Uniform

We expect students to wear a “class uniform”. Feeling prepared and ready in the ‘right’ outfit will greatly enhance student’s attitude in class. It also helps the teacher’s ability to see and correct their posture. Uniform is also required for certificate presentations and exams and for performances. Hair should be tied back neatly for class or in a ballet bun for Grade 3 ballet upwards.

Most wear bare feet to start but I do suggest ballet shoes for the winter terms.
