Shoes

larger image Capezio Jr. Tyette Style 625 Regular Price $28.00 Our Price: $18.90 625. Our brand new Jr. Tyette is just the thing for the brand new dancer. We've improved the fit. Styled the same as our best-selling Mary Jane, the new fit is more generous and more in-tune with today's young feet. We've changed the upper material to the new 1mm PU. It's comfortably soft and durable and lined with an absorbent brushed microfiber lining. We've also included special new features like an Achilles notch for comfort, and an elastic strap connecting the eye-rows for easier tie-ups. What else is new? Tele Tone® Jr.® taps. These taps are the starting off point for every young dancer eager to learn technique and sound. The taps are beautifully contoured to fit the sole and provide a lively tone. The new unit-bottom is flexible and has a slim rubber sole patch that will not interfere with a beginner's technique.

Leotards

There are so many leotards to choose from that it can sometimes be overwhelming.  If you have never worn or purchased a leotard, a simple one is best.  After choosing a leotard we recommend that you check the size charts.  Please note:  Check with your dance studio.  Some studios have a dress code.
