Ballet, ballet and more ballet

There are a number of books which exist to help you with your questions about the ballet world, and the dance world in general. For example, The Book of Ballet is one such great book if you are an older reader, while My First Ballet Book is great for the very young and it comes in hard cover edition, to make sure that it remains in good condition. For the advanced, there is The Ballet Companion, by Eliza Gaynor Minden. There are of course many more, and although nothing van replace a dance class with your teacher, they make useful

An important element that you will find is that grooming is always essential in dance. If you look smart, and have good quality dancewear, you will be less sloppy in your work.  Discipline in grooming is an important part of dance, and will gain you good marks in an exam and make your performance what it should be.

At The Ballet Shop we offer a number of items which are important for your grooming in class, such as ribbons (which should always be clean), bun nets, hairbands and bun holders.
