RECREATIONAL UNIFORM

“If you look like a dancer, you feel, act and perform like a dancer”

Uniform is compulsory at Generation Dance. You have expectations at school and sports to wear the correct uniform, for safety, so teachers can see correct body alignment, for correct execution of dance style (eg tap shoes) and most importantly to feel a sense of belonging and unity in our community.

*We pride ourselves on inclusivity and diversity and offer many uniform options to ensure every dancer is comfortable

COMMUNITY BOX

We have a community box at Generation Dance where parents have donated old uniform and shoes. If the cost of buying uniform is the reason you cannot enrol your son or daughter into classes please come and see the office staff. They will give you the community box to look through and see if there are any donated items your child can have for free. We just ask they get returned when you have finished with them.
