Where to buy?

We recommend labeling the inside of all shoes with the student's initials with a laundry marker for easy identification. Please do not mark the outside (including the sole) of the shoes in any way.
For students in Preschool and Primary Levels, we recommend stores such as Target, WalMart, Kohl's or any department store for dancewear.
Dance shoes are available at Payless Shoes (ABT brand). Dance shoes purchased prior to December 31, 2010, may be purchased 1/2 size larger to allow for growth.
For students in Intermediate and Advanced Levels and Adults:
Dance Trends (www.dancetrendshouston.com, 14520 Memorial Dr #106) is familiar with our requirements and has a good selection of in-stock dancewear including leotards, tights, skirts and ballet and tap shoes

How to care for your dancewear
|
|
|
Ballet and Tap shoes should never be worn outside.
Please be sure to wear street shoes when coming or leaving.
Dancewear (leotards & tights) should be washed only in cold water, on the delicate cycle with Woolite. They should never be put in the dryer, but leotards should be hung to dry and tights should be laid on a drying rack (this prevents stretching and mishaping).
Costumes - To keep tutus full, hang them upside down.
If tap students would like to practice at home, we recommend a sheet of plywood on the floor of the garage. This prevents damage to the shoes and to mom's linoleum and marble! Check shoes regularly for missing or loosened nails/screws. Taps should be a little loose, but nails/screws should not extend below the tap or they will tear up the dance floor.
