Uniform
Our uniform helps foster a sense of pride and belonging for GLM dancers. It also serves important practical needs.
The GLM Uniform
Correct uniform must be worn to each class. At GLM we embrace uniforms as an opportunity to nurture the sense of pride and belonging we want all of our students experience at our Studio. All uniform requirements are outlined below according to style, along with information on where to buy your uniform.
