Class Dress Code- Required

Where to purchase?

DO NOT purchase ballet slippers from Walmart or Target due to their poor fit and quality. Dancers will not be allowed to wear them for class or  performances! 

Shoes: Dance shoes (ballet, tap and jazz) can be purchased locally at Shoe Carnival and Once Upon a Child Discount Dance Supply https://www.discountdance.com/ is a great online resource for dance shoes. Our Dancers often donate shoes they out grow to us so we can pass them down free of charge- please check at our front desk for availability. Donate  your outgrown or unwanted Dancewear to us so we can keep the cycle going!

Dance Clothing: Target and Walmart are great places to purchase leotards and tights (NOT BALLET SHOES) for kids. Discount Dance Supply https://www.discountenance.com/ is the best  online resource for both kids, teens and adults. We would NOT recommend Amazon unless you know specific name brand dancewear suppliers to search for.
