Uniform at NFAD
What to wear to class?
At NFAD, wearing the correct uniform is an important part of every class. It helps students step into the right mindset for learning, creates a strong sense of belonging, and ensures everyone can move safely and progress with good technique. Please see below for a full breakdown of uniform for each class, and remember that items can be purchased from our sister company The Movement Market or at our second-hand sales early each term.
