We have a uniform at A1 Dance Academy for several reasons.

a) It ensures that pupils are suitably dressed for class and that clothing and footwear are safe and appropriate for the type of dance they are studying.

b) It gives students a sense of belonging and also ensures that classes are about dance and not about fashion.

c) It enables your child's teacher to see body shape and be able to make corrections accurately. Wearing baggy clothing effectively means that your child cannot be corrected properly and therefore may be getting into bad habits.

d) The examination bodies (RAD & ISTD) require all pupils taking an exam to look smart and the same.

Uniform should be worn for class. They should always be wearing correct footwear as not doing so can risk injury. It is expected that once your child has attended the introductory classes that the appropriate uniform should be purchased, full details of what is required are available in the catalogue at your class.

As soon as exams are confirmed please check your child has the correct uniform and that it is in good repair and fits. If new uniform is needed for exams please order immediately. The school is unable to carry great amounts of stock and most uniform needs to be ordered in.

All uniform can be purchased through the teacher or directly by contacting Green Way Trading on 01594 826359.

For all classes hair should be off the face and tied neatly in a bun.
