Uniform is an important part of the class. Whilst dancing can be a fun hobby, it also requires a level of discipline. Being well groomed and wearing the correct clothing is part of that discipline. Long hair should be tied back off the face (preferably in a bun if possible) and no jewellery is to be worn in class.

Uniform is available to purchase on a Saturday morning at Walthamstow Academy between 9am and 12pm
