The Florian School of Dance - Uniform

Our dance uniform is important as it puts students in a positive frame of mind for learning, makes them feel part of the Florian family and enables the team to teach safely and effectively. Ballet Pointe in Winchester is the nearest dance shop in the area and supplies all our uniform. We also hold termly nearly new sales and offer an opportunity to trade items as children progress through the grades. We recommend that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child's name.

Hair should be tied back away from the face for all classes and any hair accessories should match the uniform. From Grade 3 and upwards, we do prefer hair to be styled into a suitable classical ballet style such as a bun or a French chignon. Good practice for developing your hair styling skills!

No jewellery (other than stud earrings) or brightly coloured nail varnishes should be worn to class.
