TAP
Children should use their ballet costumes, with black tap shoes. For younger children, canvas shoes are advised, being both more flexible and cheaper. For children in Grade 3 and upwards, jazz tap shoes are preferred.

NATIONAL
For all grades, plum or black camisole top leotard as appropriate and national skirt. Pink ballet socks/tights and black national shoes. For children in Primary and Grade 1 Canvas shoes are fine; from Grade 2 onwards leather shoes are required. National skirts are made by Kirstie to order.
MUSICAL THEATRE
Children can wear their leotard with their skirt, black leggings or jazz trousers. Or they may wear their school tracksuit.
JAZZ/STRETCHING
As for Musical Theatre although if wearing a school tracksuit please use leggings/jazz trousers rather than tracksuit bottoms.
TEE SHIRTS AND OTHER SCHOOL WEAR
Tee shirts bearing the School's name and badge are available to pupils and parents from Kirstie, and we are looking into the practicality of providing other ranges in addition.
Conscious as we are of the expense that is already involved in dancing, these items are entirely voluntary additions to the wardrobe, but we do ask that where possible, children wear the tee shirt at festivals - with pride!
