At NMBS students have to wear the official uniform and we would appreciate if you could purchase the correct attire for your child.

Wearing a uniform creates a sense of identity and belonging within the studio, it creates a sense of unity like a corps de ballet.

It also helps improve technique, as the teacher can see the alignment and posture without distractions. Each piece of uniform has its reason to be worn. 

Being perfectly presented with tidy hair, immaculate uniform, is the biggest compliment a teacher can receive. That is for all our disciplines. 

GIRLS:
Preschool, Pre-Primary, Primary= Beatrice PALE PINK leotard plus pale pink chiffon skirt, tights and shoes to match skin colour.
