Uniform Requirements

 

TPS Dance

 

Dance uniform is strictly enforced at TPS Dance, as it not only allows the teachers to see the line of the dancers’ bodies and make corrections but also instills a sense of studio pride.  It is also a safety issue, as incorrect footwear or clothing can impede the student’s movements.  You can purchase all of these items at Bloch or any other dance store. Target and BIG W also carry a range of dancewear leotards for children.

We will be introducing a range of TPS tops, pants, jackets and other attire throughout the year, but they won’t be compulsory just yet.  They will be optional in place of some of the items listed below.

* Please note that adult students are free to wear any suitable clothing they choose.

Hair

• Hair should be tied back and neat for all classes.
• Hair should not be on the face.
• Girls must wear their hair in a neat bun for all ballet classes.

 

Jewellery

• Due to safety precautions, only one set of stud earrings should be worn in class. Watches, rings and chains should be left at home as the students will be asked to take them off and we wouldn’t want these special items to go missing at the studio.

 

Jazz Sneakers

• Please note that we have asked for black jazz shoes as opposed to sneakers - as jazz sneakers limit the ability to strengthen young dancers’ feet and ankles (as well as being much more costly for growing children).  Pre-Senior’s upward may wear them, but we still prefer jazz shoes.
• Please ensure that their clothing fits well. Particularly the hems on their pants as this can present safety issues such as tripping or falling.

 

 

All Other Classes (including Acting, Singing, Choir & Musical Theatre)

• Black pants that are loose and comfortable and easy to move in without restricting your movement. We recommend dance pants or lightweight trackpants. A plain white or black t-shirt or top. Black Jazz shoes, sneakers or any sensible non-slip closed shoes. Note: Jazz shoes MUST be worn in the Dance component of Musical Theatre classes.
