Other Info

Shoes

Please see our Dress Code Page for complete information.

Dancewear and shoes can be purchased from specialty dance stores like Movin’ Easy, Dancer’s Closet or the Capezio store in addition to places like Target (doesn’t sell shoes just dancewear), Walmart, Payless and Academy. The most important thing when buying shoes is fit, they shouldn’t be too big and especially not too small or too narrow. The inexpensive brands that Walmart, Payless and Academy sell do not come in widths so it is recommended for narrow or wide feet to purchase shoes at one of the specialty stores.
