Celebrate diversity – model our new ISTD exam uniform!

We believe in celebrating diversity and inclusion within our dance community and are so excited to have our members take part in this exciting opportunity to showcase unique styles and genres of dance.

Our ISTD uniform photoshoot will be taking place at the end of July in the Midlands UK. Applications are now closed, thank you to all who entered.

 “It has been an interesting experience working on the new designs. I have enjoyed participating and hopefully producing some new current pieces that dancers will enjoy wearing and feeling good in.”
