Students are given a NLPAC T-Shirt upon becoming a member and every time membership is renewed annually. These can be worn in all drama and singing classes, as well as performing arts after school clubs and stage schools. All other dance classes have specific uniform requirements or dancewear guidelines.
We take the health and safety of all of our students very seriously and these rules are in place for their comfort.
Having uniforms encourages students to develop a sense of pride and belonging. It also ensures all children are equal and allows the teacher to clearly see how the body is working in order to safely teach and guide the dancer.
Students are expected to have proper uniform if they are to be entered for ISTD examinations.
