JLD Uniform
JLD uniform requirements are below. If you are not sure of something, please speak to the Office or your teacher before purchasing items.

The following shops stock our uniform and are familiar with our requirements:

Traditionally dance uniforms have been split by genders. We understand that for some students this is a sensitive area to navigate. Please be assured that we believe dance is for all and want our students to pick the uniform that they identify with and are comfortable with. We don’t want any concerns in this area to be what stops you from coming to our studios. If you wish to discuss your individual needs and requirements with us, please do.
