If your hair is long, but not long enough to fit into a bun, please secure back, away from the face and eyes.
- Additional Notes Regarding Ballet Shoes –
Please try on your ballet shoes before purchasing. When standing, they should allow your toes to lie on the ground, without scrunching. There should not, however, be an excess of material beyond your toes. Please try on your ballet shoes, and have the salesperson assist you in the fitting of your ballet shoes.
