What to wear for Academy classes
Students need to wear tight fitting practice clothes to enable the tutors to see the student's body working during class. They also need to demonstrate that they are prepared and ready for each class and presented in a professional manner. All jewellery must be removed as wearing it presents a health and safety risk.
DanceEast provides:
- DanceEast Academy sweatshirt, which students will be required to wear when they are together as a group away from regular class locations, and between class sessions.
- Girls: A leotard for ballet classes
- Boys: A suitable dance vest for ballet classes

Hair must be tied up and away from the face, fastened close to the head for ballet. Boys with long hair or fringes also need to fasten the hair back away from the face.
Students should wear the Academy sweatshirt and other warm clothes between classes.
If students are taking mid-week classes on their Individual Training Plan outside the Academy, they should ask for the uniform requirements from the class teacher and dress neatly at all times.
Lost Property
All dancewear should be clearly labelled with the student's name. Lost property will be collected and held in the office at the Jerwood DanceHouse until the end of term, when unclaimed items will be donated to charity.
