Uniform
Our uniform helps foster a sense of pride and belonging for GLM dancers. It also serves important practical needs.
Correct uniform must be worn to each class. At GLM we embrace uniforms as an opportunity to nurture the sense of pride, equality and belonging we want our all our students to experience, as well as supporting safety and correct instruction. Click on your style of dance below to check your GLM uniform requirements.
Trials: If you’re trialling a class at GLM, please simply wear any comfortable clothing you can move around in. Bare feet is fine! If you are trialling a tap class, we have a selection of second hand tap shoes which you may borrow from.
