Why we have a dance uniform for class:
Confidence Boosting & Feeling Part of a Team
We want every dancer to feel part of the team and equal to one another. Wearing the correct uniform to class promotes a sense of unity. When students 'look the part', their confidence soars too!
Improves Technique & Focus
Wearing the incorrect clothing for class can prevent the dancer from properly participating in our classes. Inappropriate clothing makes it harder for teachers to make corrections when needed if we cannot see a dancers alignment and posture from head to toe. Following a dress code puts the dancers in the right mindset to learn and focus too.
Safety & Modesty
Wearing a general school uniform or other casual clothes causes unnecessary risk of injury. Also, for Acro specifically, there’s a lot of upside-down work, such as hand balancing. Teachers spot their students to ensure safety in each skill. Your child will feel more secure, confident and stay appropriately covered wearing the right dance clothing.
Hair- Please ensure hair is tied up neatly in a ponytail, bun or braided for class. If your child's hair is not long enough to do so, please just ensure it is kept away from their face for the lessons.
Footwear- None required! We dance bare foot so no specific footwear is needed for class.
We have a second hand uniform page which is perfect for buying, selling and swapping clothing with other Affinity families: Affinity Dance Second Hand Uniform Page.
Dance Uniform Choices
*Please note - all items have been carefully selected for their quality and durability whilst keeping the cost as low as possible. Garments with our Affinity logo added are printed by a local South Hams company.
As with lots of dance attire, it is best to size up in the leotards as they are on the smaller side. I can bring samples to class for your child to try on with you, before you make a purchase. All other items are true to size.
