These classes are for invited students who are showing potential in their dance training and who would benefit from a more challenging class.

Happy Feet uniform must be worn in class. Students are required to have the full uniform by the time they have completed their first three weeks. This is essential to the school's requirements. Please ensure that uniform is always clean and in good condition. Please make sure all parts of uniform are clearly marked with pupils' names.

Jewellery, face paints, tattoos, hair accessories and nail varnish are not to be worn at class.

'A dancer should always be well-groomed. It is a large part of the self-discipline which is an essential part of the dance training itself.'

Hair

Must be worn up in the required manner for all classes. A high pony-tail with small black hair tie or a neat bun. All fringes must be neatly pinned back off the face. Short hair must be taken away from the face and neck as much as possible. No fringes.This allows full lines of the neck and head to be seen, and importantly is not a distraction to the pupil.
