Now, lets make sure we have what we need to DANCE!!!

SHOES: This year a sales rep from Finer Pointes Dance Shop will be joining us at the studio to size us all for dance shoes. It is necessary that we all have the proper footwear for our particular classes. For instance, don’t try to sneak into ballet class with your tap shoes on, I might notice!!! And for all you cloggers, orders for shoes will be made through Finer Pointes, so allow time for your order to come in.
