UNIFORM & MERCHANDISE
Uniform
Inspire Academy of Dance has its own set uniform, available to purchase directly from our very own dance shop.
Please note that ballet shoes should be 2 shoe sizes bigger than your child’s normal shoe size. The gap gets smaller when the sizes are larger. From size 1, decrease this gap by one shoe size.
