Dance Shoes.

We understand that finding the right dance shoes can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it's essential for your child's comfort and performance. Proper dance shoes are specifically designed to support and protect growing feet, ensuring they can move safely and effectively. We've noticed an increase in students experiencing discomfort from inexpensive alternatives, which can cause sore feet and impact their enjoyment and progress in class. We strongly encourage investing in quality dance shoes to help your child dance confidently and comfortably.

Both male and female dancers wear tights causing a variety of responses. So let’s find out why the tights. What is fascinating about this is that it is that nobody gives a second thought about athletes who wear tight fitting clothes. Cyclists, wrestlers, swimmers, scuba divers and gymnasts all wear clothing which reveals the size and shape of the body. Tights provide light compression of the muscles in the leg and foot which improves circulation and helps dancers to “feel” their legs and engage the correct muscles. They provide unrestricted movement while providing good coverage for the sake of discretion and modesty. Modern tights not only keep leg muscles warm, but they also help to absorb perspiration from the legs and feet with moisture wicking technology – an important consideration in our climate, particularly for pas de deux and partnering classes. They help to create a neat and professional appearance – yes even in class! Dress standards are an important part of the physical and mental preparation for ballet class – they help to put you in right frame of mind. Though tights come in a range of different finishes and styles, they generally have a silky smooth finish, allowing the legs to glide smoothly past each other and reducing rubbing and friction.
