"My tap shoes are too tight!"

"I can't wear them anymore!"

"My ballet shoes are too small!"

We are hearing these comments from a lot of kids because they were going to wear their shoes
till Christmas and now it is January and we need new ones. Please check your children's shoes; we can get them for you.

Please be sure your dancer is coming to dance class dressed and looking like a dancer with proper attire and shoes. For girls please bring your own hair ties to keep your hair back.
