Uniform
Uniform can be obtained through through outlets such as The Dance Boutique in Ewell or Ballet Boutique in Wimbledon or through websites such as Dance Direct, Move Dancewear or Dancewear Central (other sites are also available) which usually offer cheaper alternatives.
Ballet uniform can also be obtained direct from the Royal Academy of Dance . The style names provided for ballet leotards are those sold by the RAD. If buying from a different online provider, just be sure that you are buying a regulation style.
We recommend that ballet shoes are bought at a dancewear shop rather than online so that they can be fitted correctly.
N.B. If your child already has suitable dance wear, there is no need to buy uniform immediately.
Hair must be tied back, either in a pony tail if collar length or shorter, or in a bun for longer hair. Older ballet students must wear a bun as soon as hair is long enough to go up.
Merchandise
We have an optional range of beautiful hoodies and tee shirts in our brand colours to help keep our students warm on their way to and from class and during warm-up. To see the full range and to purchase click the link below.

It was wonderful to finally be able to perform our Step into a Story production in July 2022, having only been three weeks away from performing it when the country locked down in 2020! Our next show is scheduled for February 2024 at The Epsom Playhouse.
A Celebration of Dance! 10 July 2021
We were so thrilled to be able to put on this showcase on 10 July, despite changes to the roadmap meaning we had to change to an outside venue and split the school into two halves to keep everyone safe. It was absolutely worth all of the effort though - the students worked incredibly hard and the support from friends and family was wonderful. We all had a fantastic afternoon and I was so proud to be able to show off what our wonderful students can do!
