Dancewear and dance shoes are available through the dance school. 

It is important that dancers come in clothing suitable for the excercises and movement they will dance during the class.  We encourage individuality for our older students. Younger students are encouraged to wear leotard and tights as the basic clothing. Lyrical skirts are required for many of our classes. 

Tap shoes are required for all lessons where tap is listed on our Timetable.

Jazz shoes are required for those students who are preparing for or taken Grade 1 Modern Jazz.

Ballet shoes are required for all lessons where ballet is listed on our Timetable.

Most of our dance wear and dance shoes are made in New Zealand.

We strongly believe in supporting local businesses. 

Prices are on display at the studio. 

Selecting shoes - it is important that dance shoes fit correctly. Children trying to dance with shoes that "they will grow in to" hinders the development of correct technique. 

Fitting guidelines are as follows:

Jazz Shoes - these should fit snugly to the whole of the foot. They should not sag around the ankle line.  Laces that tie in small single bows are required. The correct fitting of jazz shoes enables the teacher or assessor for examinations to see the correct line of the foot. This is obscured when shoes are too large.

Ballet Shoes - as for Jazz shoes they should fit snugly to the whole of the foot to enable the extension line of the foot to be observed.

Tap Shoes - these should be sized as for normal wear shoes. The toes and upper part of the ball of the foot will be over the ball tap when fitted correctly.
