Uniforms and Grooming are an important part of learning the etiquette of Dance.
Students are not expected to wear uniform for their Introductory classes, however parents are encouraged to purchase uniforms once children are settled into class. The wearing of uniforms helps to create a sense of belonging for the children and ensures students are dressed appropriately for teacher corrections to be applied. Students are welcome to outgrow their current uniform before purchasing the next level uniform.
Grooming
Children are expected to attend looking neat and tidy. Girls with short hair should have their hair pulled off the face either with a headband or clips. Girls with long hair should have their hair in a pony tail for Petit Dance, a Bun for over 5’s and a plait or braid for Acro. A great tutorial on how to make a Ballet Bun for three variations in hair length can be found here. Boys should have their hair neat and pulled off the face.
Uniform Requirements
Where to Buy:
We have our very own Online Dance Store, Prelude Dance Shop. All your uniform requirements can be purchased online. We do pop-up shops throughout the year for sizing. Shoes need to be sized before purchase. Please contact us via phone or email to arrange sizing if there are no pop-up shops coming up.
Studio Singlet Top – All students are able to purchase a studio singlet top. These can be worn to class over leotards for all styles except Petit Dance and Ballet and are required for those in our Performance Team.
See our Uniform Guide for the specific uniform for each class.
