Tap Shoe Purchasing Tips

★For juniors/adults, something to keep in mind is that sometimes a pair of shoes that feel great on one person, can feel very different on another because our feet are all different widths, different arches, etc.
★ I recommend first looking on www.discountdance.com, sort by price, then start reading the descriptions of what appeals to you the most.
★ AVOID economy brands e.g. “Dance Now” & “Dance Class”; they don’t last long.

Dress Code

NO jeans, dresses, or large tutus are permitted for any age. This dress code is for the instructor who needs to see how your body is moving in the technique, and you need to be comfortable with all the moves.

AGES 10 and under

• Any color leotard and tights; sheer ballet skirt is ok
• Male kiddos may wear stretchy shorts + fitted t-shirt
• Active/athletic wear such as leggings & fitted top are permitted for hip-hop & acro

AGES 11-16

• Active/athletic wear such as leggings & fitted top are permitted for all styles except ballet
• Any color leotard & tights are acceptable for ballet, jazz, and contemporary classes
• Sheer wrap skirts are optional for ballet

AGES 17+

• Active/athletic wear such as leggings & fitted top are permitted for all styles

Hair

Those lovely locks should always be pulled back, out of the face (ponytail or otherwise).
Ballet classes for ages 7-16 require hair to be in a bun. Donuts make it easy!
