All students enrolled in an Arts Umbrella Dance program are required to wear the appropriate, specified dance attire at all classes.

Each Level in our General Program has a specified uniform leotard for girls and each class type (such as ballet, contemporary, or jazz) has a specified dress code for both girls and boys.

Class attire is not included in registration or costume fees and can be ordered by emailing Costume Coordinator, Siân Morris.

Please note that leotards may be worn until dancers outgrow them.
