Dance Costomes

Different styles, and levels, of dance require different uniforms and clothing for examinations. Part of the discipline of dance is a neat appearance. Accordingly, uniforms should be worn with pride. Particular attention should be given to neat and correct grooming, including wearing the correct hair and leotard. This must be adhered to at every dance class in the LC Dance Academy.
