DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

New RAD Ballet Uniform

Need new ballet uniform?

If your child's current ISTD uniform still fits and is in good condition, there is no need to replace it just yet.

When they are ready for something new, please purchase the new RAD uniform for their grade below.

Simply select your child's grade to see exactly what they need.

please note: Seniors will wear all black

✨ MEET OUR MPA TEAM

We’re so excited to welcome some wonderful new faces to the MPA teaching team this year, alongside some of our familiar faces our students already know and love!

We’ve carefully built a team of teachers who each bring something really special to MPA, and we can’t wait for you to get to know them.

✨ MPA UNIFORM

We love our students looking smart and feeling part of the MPA family! Students should attend classes wearing either their correct MPA uniform or plain all-black dancewear, as appropriate for their class.

Need something new? You can order everything you need through our MPA Uniform Shop below.

Please note:
• Uniform orders are placed on the 8th of every month
• Please allow approximately 2–3 weeks for processing and delivery
• We recommend ordering early to avoid delays during busy periods
• All orders are delivered directly to MPA for collection from Reception
• Please ask Rachel at Reception when collecting your order, allowing the processing time above before checking

A Little Update to Our Fees

As our fees have remained unchanged for a long time, there will be a small adjustment to class fees for the new academic year to reflect the continued increase in running costs.

We’ve worked hard to keep these changes as minimal as possible while continuing to provide the high-quality training, facilities and opportunities we’re so proud to offer at MPA. ✨

Our 5% multi-class discount for students attending 4 or more eligible classes will also remain in place.

Please see our updated 2026/27 fee list below.

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful MPA families for your continued support. We feel so lucky to have such an incredible community around us and we are SO excited for another amazing year together!

We cannot wait to welcome all of our students back through the doors, get back into classes and watch them continue to learn, grow, perform and shine! ✨

Make sure you’re following us on social media to keep up with everything happening at MPA and to follow our gorgeous students’ journeys and progress throughout the year!
