Joining us for taster classes and not sure what to wear? Choose something comfortable and easy to move in such as a leotard or t-shirt with leggings or shorts. If you do not have Ballet or Jazz shoes, grippy socks will be fine. For those joining us for Tap tasters, outdoor shoes are fine to wear or let us know your child’s outdoor shoe size and we will try and source you a spare pair of tap shoes to borrow for your taster classes.

Jazz dancers should wear their modern uniform for these sessions.
Any leotard with shorts or leggings over the top.
(If joining following on from a Ballet class, we would recommend wearing ‘convertible’ Ballet tights for Ballet. Students can then peel back the feet of the tights after Ballet and easily put leggings on over the top and be ‘Acro ready’ quickly).
HAIR: Ponytail at the centre of the back of the head (not too high as it will be uncomfortable). If you have Ballet before, make sure you situate the bun at a sensible height (not too high), and then take pins, grips, nets out after Ballet and leave hair in a pony tail. Hair MUST be secured off the face with plenty of spray.
Hair
Ballet Hair
Hair must be in a classical bun for all ballet classes Primary and and upwards.
Older students are encouraged to learn how to do their hair themselves as this plays a part in learning the discipline of preparing for ballet and taking responsibility for presentation.
This is something that dancers learn to feel proud of because it plays such an enormous part in understanding ballet discipline. Hair tied in a classical bun allows a dancer to feel the length properly in the back of the neck, spot properly when turning and allows the teacher to see the lines the dancer is creating and correct appropriately.
Modern Theatre, Tap & Jazz
Must be tied back neatly for these classes too. A ponytail with fringes and wisps off of the face. If your child has long hair, a ponytail is not sufficient as this flicks into the face when turning. A bun in this instance is recommended.
