Uniform


Why is there a uniform?

We enforce a uniform at Frogmore Dance School for discipline.

All students attending classes are required to wear the uniform.

Hair must also be tied back and be off the face in a suitable style for the genre.

Ballet buns are encouraged for Ballet. See this video on how to do a ballet bun.

All jewellery including ear studs must also be removed for classes or taped over.


By enforcing the uniform students come to class on a level playing field.

The structure helps with routine and focus and enables teachers to see what their student's bodies are doing. This aids technique training and helps prevent injuries.  


Uniform is available for purchase either through us or at 'Dancia' on the Crowthorne High Street. Optional branded uniform is available directly from us.

We also have a second-hand system for uniforms with leotards and shoes available for those who need them.
