We advise not to invest in any of the uniform until you have attended your trial. Socks with grippy soles for ballet and trainers for tap are fine for a trial.
Our uniform can be purchased from two different websites. The leotards/t-shirts/shorts/leggings for pre-level one, one, two & three ballet must be purchased on the Royal Ballet School's website; royalballetschool.org.uk/atap-uniform. This page is only available to ATAP students. The password is RBSATAPUNIFORM.
The remainder of the CTS uniform is from Dansez. Please email lovedansez@dans-ez.com quoting ‘Cygnets To Swans’ requesting a uniform activation link.
I recommend getting ballet & tap shoes fitted at The Dancing Boutique on Camden road in Tunbridge Wells.
I strongly encourage all pupils to have a CTS t-shirt, CTS mint green sweater or CTS jacket for wearing to & from class and waiting around at show rehearsals and watching week etc.

Swans Adult Ballet
Most feel comfortable in leggings and a t-shirt/jumper. Socks are fine if you don’t want to invest in ballet shoes. If you do, canvas split sole are the best option.
