RAD Ballet uniform at En Pointe Theatre Arts Cardiff

Dress Code

Uniform Guide

Correct uniform helps dancers focus on technique rather than fashion, and allows Miss Danielle to see the line of the body essential for safe, effective training.

Uniform requirements

Correct attire and appropriate dance shoes must be worn to all classes. The dress code must be followed at all times — dancers who arrive without the required items may be asked to sit out until appropriately dressed. All items should be labelled with your dancer's name. Hair must be worn in a ballet bun or crossover braids for all classes.
