Uniforms & Accessories
Our Uniform Store
The Tribe Collective have a uniform policy that we ask is followed by all of our families. We have uniforms for our students not only to rep our brand but also to promote community & negate the "brand logo competition" that can creep in to institutions. We dont want anyone feeling "less than" for not having (or feeling pressured to buy" a pair of $200 shorts!
In addition- particularly in performing arts- it is crucial that attire is appropriate and not restrictive or dangerous in line with our safe dance policy.
For this reason we have developed the Tribe Uniform with different options to allow for self expression but a sensible price point & community thread running throughout. Please read through our uniform policies for each of our age groups under our Shop collections.
In 2026 we are excited to announce a whole heap of new additions to the tribe uniform. Pre orders are open now!
We have a lot of accessories & apparel available in our online store but ask that ALL of our Tribe students have ordered or are wearing the minimum requirement for their classes by Week 4 of term.
It is also essential dance students have their hair in a neat ponytail or a high bun for ballet classes.
We appreciate your attention to correct uniform at Tribe.
