Uniforms

At EPC we believe that wearing studio uniforms give students a sense of belonging to our family as well as creating an identity for our studio in the greater community.

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 Leotards, belts and skirts are not available to order through EPC. Please go to Chatswood Bloch (or any Bloch Dancewear Store) for your ballet attire. 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.


You can now order Footwear and accessories through EPC from Dance Store which are much cheaper than purchasing in a dancewear store. Please see the order form sent with your welcome email.


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.


We do have a large number of second-hand shoes and uniforms available to purchase at the studio. Please see our friendly reception staff to inquire about any 2nd hand uniform items.


Please ensure all parts of your child’s uniform are clearly labelled - individual shoes, socks...you will be amazed at the amount of lost property we generate!
