Back to School

I know this is a little late in coming. The scholastic year has started again, and with it, the mad rush to get your kids organised for their dance class, be it ballet, jazz, tap or any other discipline.

It is always exciting to see little children in their new outfits, especially when they are first starting off. The new leotard and skirt, new ballet shoes... It is important that the children remain well groomed throughout the year, and not only during the first lessons. A large portion of the marks in a dance exam or assessment goes to grooming, and grooming and discipline are an important part of dance. Also, if the child is well-groomed and looks smart, she is more likely to put an effort into her dancing.

If you have not yet got your child's dancewear, take a look at our ebay store, or at our online ballet shop. We have a vast range of sizes of full sole children's ballet shoes - these are perhaps the most important item to be monitored. An ill fitting shoe could mean damage to your child's feet - which is even worse than bad grooming!

We also have some ballroom shoes on sale at the moment. We do not have all the sizes but will be willing to try to help if we can procure your size.

Happy shopping and good luck to everyone for the new scholastic year.
