We love our uniform 🩰
Our Tutu Dresses for Babies (pink), Pre Primary & Primary Ballet (lilac) are not only extremely cute, they are far more practical than the previous leotard and skirt. Time was wasted constantly re- tying skirts, and they never looked as smart or comfortable.
For Tap Class, they simply add a Silver Skirt/Shorts to whatever Ballet Tutu/Leotard they are wearing at that time.
We listened to the girls and introduced optional skirts for Grades 1-4 Ballet as we know children can sometimes feel a little self-conscious in just a leotard. The girls love them !
Boys feel comfortable in their white T-shirts and navy/black shorts - although it's absolutely fine if they wish to wear white leotards.
We also tried to keep our Character Skirts versatile by using ribbon colours from both the Lavender and Mulberry leotards to save buying a new Character Skirt when they change uniform colour.
We request that all Ballet dancers from Grade 1-4 have Character Shoes and Skirts by Christmas please 💜
