PreSchool Uniforms
Free Trials
If your child is taking part in a free trial, they are not required to wear a uniform.
We ask that students wear clothes that are comfortable to move in and bare feet.
Leggings or pants and a singlet are a great option.
All Students
We have always believed that dance, and the performing arts should be accessible for all.
While we strongly encourage all children to come in uniform, we do understand there may be a delay being able to purchase uniforms, or times where this is difficult. We offer a number of options at different price points in hope that families will choose the option that is best for them.
Some of the reasons we strongly support uniform include:
A SENSE OF BELONGING AND INCLUSION
This is something we strongly believe in at Confident Kids and Inspire Academy. Wearing a uniform encourages students to feel part of the team. As children get older it also ensures all students in the class are equal and there are no complexities when it comes to what students are wearing.
DANCE AND CLASS SAFETY
The correct footwear is essential for safe classes and must be worn each week. Correct attire also ensures partner work is safer and students can move safely in their work. Denim, casual dresses and restrictive clothing is strictly not to be worn in class.
TEACHER CORRECTION AND FEEDBACK
For many classes it is important teachers can see how each student is moving their body in order to give the best corrections and feedback possible. Wearing oversized clothing makes this very difficult for our teachers.
GROWN UP AND ME CLASSES
(6mths - 3 years)
No uniform required, however our dresses are encouraged for those who would like them.
For Grown up and me classes, grown ups will also require clothes that are easy to move in.
Bare feet is fine with ballet shoes recommended as children reach the older end of this group (2.5yrs)
