You can also purchase your uniform second hand, our second hand page is DWS Buy and Sell.
Uniform Information 2021
We understand that changing uniforms through the grades becomes expensive and we are wanting to try and reduce costs for parents where we can.
Moving forward we are wanting to make the uniform consistent across the school, however this will be a gradual process and the uniforms currently worn can continue to be worn until they have grown out of them.
When it is time for replacement, all you need to do is purchase the following (second hand or new):
When picking a leotard please think about the genre of dance as not all leotards will work with Jazz/Acro moves as they are very physical. We will not be requiring the leotards/hot pants to have the logo, however if you have one with it then again this is fine.
From 2022 we will have a studio set of leotards and character/variation skirts for exam time for students to hire for a small fee instead of having to source your own. Students will need their own footwear and tights.
As your student grows out of their Mulberry or Port leotards or character skirts/skirts, if they are in excellent condition then please see admin as we may be interested in purchasing them.
We will be organising a DWS hoodie/vest/t-shirt each year that can be purchased if you wish, our first one will be in Term 4.
Again please remember this is not an overnight change, it is an ongoing process and not designed to cost you more money. Any questions please email admin@danceworks.co.nz.
