New Attire - Demi-Pointe:
As students advance in their abilities they will be evaluated in class to see if they are ready for Demi-Pointe . This is a great honor and it will be done with great care and celebration!
DO NOT go and purchase Demi-Pointe shoes without approval from your teacher. This could result in the wrong shoes being purchased and injury to your child’s feet or ankles. Demi-Pointe shoes cannot be returned after they have been worn, so you do not want to get the wrong shoes.
