Uniform

Dance schools all around the world wear a dance uniform, to help students and teachers alike get the most out of class. Long hair should be in a ballet bun for ballet or tied back neatly for class.

For your first class, don’t worry if you don’t have the uniform yet, just wear something comfortable to move in, and bare feet.  Upon enrolment we will send you all the information you need about dance uniform, hair etc.  

• Black WDA t-shirt or top
• Black leggings or track pants
• Jazz shoes or Dance-specific sneakers (no street shoes in studio please – it brings in dirt/dust)
