Uniforms
Our uniforms also:
• Increase a sense of belonging and studio pride
• Help students know what appropriate dancewear at the studio is
• Diminish economic and social barriers between students
• Encourage unity and discipline
EPC Uniforms can be purchased year-round from the studio. Please order uniforms in your child’s current clothing size.
Ballet uniforms and footwear are not available to order through EPC. Please go to Chatswood Bloch (or any Bloch Dancewear Store) for your ballet attire and footwear. We do have a loyalty program with this store where you can receive 5% to 15% off your purchases. You will receive your Bloch Loyalty Card when you make your first purchase there.
All dance wear should be ‘form fitting’ so that students can move freely without worrying about gaping leotards and shoes that flop at the end of their toes or bunch at the heel. As teachers we cannot see postural and technique alignment when dance wear is ill fitting.
