Uniform

It is important that you ensure your children attend class with their hair neatly tied back, neat grooming is an important discipline in dancing, it is also nice when I can see their faces! Please also make sure that all uniform and shoes are clearly named for class. It is becoming increasingly difficult to return clothing and shoes to their correct owners when found

New uniform and shoes can be ordered by calling Sue at ‘Stages’ uniform shop on 01296 630296. Garments and shoes may be arranged if you are unable to get to the shop in Aston Clinton.
