UNIFORM
Hertsmere Academy Uniform is available to purchase through our Dancestore Website, it is simple to use as everything is classified into Subjects or Grades, you will also see our logo in the top left hand corner to know it is our dancestore. Items will be sent directly to you. Our Dancestore uniform prices are highly competitive and cost far less than buying your items directly from the Royal Academy of Dance or ISTD, without substituting quality.
The online 'dancestore' address will be issued to you once you have completed your trial classes. For safe dance practice, students must be in the correct/exact same uniform by week 4 of joining us and students with incorrect uniform will not be able to participate in classes, shows, events or exams.
