All students are required to wear the designated NBATI ballet uniform appropriate to their level. This includes the specified style and color of leotards (bearing the NBATI emblem), skirts, and ballet shoes. Hair must be neatly groomed and tied back. For safety and focus, we ask that jewelry and accessories be avoided during class.
-Proper attire and grooming are an important part of ballet training. Students are expected to arrive prepared and correctly dressed for each class.
-New students attending their first lesson may wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement. Anti-skid socks are recommended.
-The class uniform and ballet shoes can be procured at our studios during the class timings.
You may wonder why it’s important to wear a uniform to dance each week. Beyond simply “looking the part,” wearing a uniform plays a vital role in creating a productive and positive class experience for everyone.
1. Sense of Belongings – Uniforms help dancers feel part of a team. When students are dressed alike, it fosters unity, builds group identity, and enhances the sense of camaraderie. It also allows students to better visualise how their ensemble will appear when performing together on stage.
2. Safety and Readiness – Dance uniforms are designed specifically for movement. They ensure dancers are dressed safely and appropriately, avoiding hazards like loose clothing or heavy zippers. Uniforms also help put dancers in the right mindset. Just like a school uniform or sports kit signals that it is time to focus, the dance uniform prepares students mentally for class.
3.Equality and Confidence – Wearing the same attire reinforces that all students are equal regardless of background. It removes social pressure to dress to impress and helps eliminate distractions, allowing dancers to concentrate on learning. This sense of fairness also boosts confidence.
4. Discipline and Focus – Uniforms establish a sense of structure. When students arrive in uniform, it signals that they are entering a space of discipline and respect. This small but powerful ritual sets the tone for a focused and respectful classroom atmosphere.
5. Clear Assessment of Technique – Uniforms allow teachers to observe body alignment, posture, and movement more clearly. This visibility helps instructors provide more accurate corrections and feedback, supporting each dancer’s individual growth and reducing the risk of injury.
In Summary Our uniform policy is not just about presentation. It helps create a safe, focused, and inclusive space where every dancer can thrive, grow confidently, and feel proud to be part of a team.
