Please be sure to ask our teaching team any questions you might have. These uniform requirements assist your child/your teacher in correcting technique, in safe dance practice, class etiquette and also in your chosen dance styles art form. We are extremely conscious about inclusivity and about promoting healthy and positive body image within LVDP. In the case of our ballet uniform specifically for our exams, the expected colours and boy/girl uniforms are in line with Cecchetti Australia. Please speak to Stephanie directly should this (or any other aspects of our uniform requirements) be an issue for anyone as we want everyone to have the opportunity to feel that they are at home in their bodies, in themselves and accepted and safe within our space, while also remaining in line with our dance uniforms as much as possible.
