Uniform Policies
At NAPA, our industry training begins with maintaining high expectations in students’ appearances at all times, both in and outside the classrooms, and while representing NAPA at performances and competitions. Below you will find images and descriptions of our uniform, footwear, stocking and clothing requirements for all NAPA students.
Students in the Performance Teams are required to wear their official NAPA uniform to all Performance Team classes. Where a uniform item order has not yet arrived, students are to wear a plain black item in its place, with at least one NAPA uniform piece. Wearing a uniform is not only about studio pride, but also prepares students for industry expectations. Please also ensure that hair is neat and tidy, preferably in a bun or braids.
When arriving at competitions, students should wear their full official Performance Team Uniform including jacket, leggings or track pants and singlet or crop (unless informed to wear a specific costume under the tracksuit) along with black or white sneakers.
