ISTD Dressed for Success

What a busy time we have had as our production team did an amazing job producing over 40 different designs and 210 variations ready for the ISTD x Dansez photo shoot. This was the culmination of many months of hard work. Over 212 design samples were made and tested by member teachers, an important part of our inclusive design phase with ISTD and Dansez showing how good partnership can work.

The shoot was another great collaboration with ISTD as we all worked so hard to make the two day photo shoot for the launch of the new examination unform a great success. A huge thank you to the 73 young dancers who did us all proud bringing the new collection to life. We have had some fabulous feedback from the students and parents who not only enjoyed the experience but have been so positive about the new designs.

"Makes them feel part of a team, across the country/world. ISTD training is something to be proud of 🫶"

"It standardises everything and makes classes feel more educational as you are not distracted by other peoples outfits as you are all wearing the same."

"It was lovely quality and fitted so beautifully flattering the dancers. We will definitely promote the uniform and encourage the whole dance school to purchase. Kacey can’t wait to show her friends."

A huge big thank you also goes to Drew and Simon for their photographic excellence. We have so many great photos and over 400 of them have made it into the product shots for the Dansez online store plus many more that show how beautiful the uniform looks. As a thank you to the students who took part they all got to keep their garments from the shoot and are the first proud owners of the new uniform!

We launch on the 19 August and we hope all the ISTD member teachers love their new recommended examination uniform.
