BALLET SLIPPER PREPARATION

The appropriate fit of a dance shoe is important for proper support. Once the dancer has been sized, the slipper must be prepared for dancing. Please see our step-by-step guide to get your child's shoes ready for class. BRB faculty is happy to help you with any questions.       

Step 1:  Write your child's name on the inside of both slippers. 

Step 2:  Double or triple knot the elastics.  Be sure not to pull the elastics too tight on the heel by making sure two fingers can fit comfortable into the shoe before knotting. 

Step 3:  Trim the elastics leaving about a 1/4 inch and send your child dancing!
