Gwyneth Hare School of Dancing

Important: The full uniform must be worn in the lessons prior to the exam. Miss Hare must see you work in the full uniform to check that all is as it should be. Any pupil who arrives to take the exam without the correct uniform may be withdrawn from the exam as there is a very strict dress code, which must be adhered to.
