Something comfortable, such as leggings and a T-shirt, is perfect. A skirt or dress over the top is lovely too, as we ask the girls to hold their skirts when dancing. Our uniform is pink, so your daughter may like to wear pink to match the other children. Bare feet or socks are fine. For boys, shorts and a T-shirt are ideal.

We teach at venues across London, including Hampstead, St John’s Wood, Regent’s Park, Islington, Clerkenwell, Stoke Newington, Hackney, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Little Venice and Teddington. Some classes at schools are for that school’s pupils only; these are marked on our Term Dates page.
