Dance Shoes

Please label every pair of shoes with the student’s first initial and last name.

Dance shoes should only be worn inside the studio. Wearing them outdoors can bring dirt, gravel, and oil onto the dance floor and may damage both the flooring and the shoes.

We recommend Capezio and Bloch dance shoes. Please avoid purchasing tap shoes from general retailers such as Target or Walmart, as some models may not be properly constructed for studio flooring.
