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. GLM embraces 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.
