It’s the first day of dance and your newest little toddler students enter the room in their new dancewear – hair pulled back, cute little leotards, pink tights and then you look down at their feet and you see:
AHHHHH! Eh tu, Discount Dance?
I mean, I understand that Target and Walmart might not care if the bedroom slippers they are passing off as ballet shoes aren’t ACTUAL ballet slippers, but Discount Dance should have SOME shred of integrity when it comes to shoes that are listed under the “Ballet” category! Whyyyyyy??
At least one of the reviewers (mind you, a 13-year old who has better sense then a dance catalog) wrote:
“I’m just going to quickly say if you are planning on buying these to wear them, don’t…Anyway, I actually made them in to a keychain!”
The only use for this shoe is as a decoration!
Ok… rant over. I feel better now.
At least until the first day of class…
The Dance Buzz 
I totally agreed with you until one particularly bad Saturday when I tied 10 pairs of shoes in half an hour. At least the fuzzy moccasins don’t need any in-class maintenance. 😉
That’s so true – tying little one’s shoes in class are such a pain! Especially when you have sneaky dancers who un-tie them repeatedly 🙂 Happy dancing!
which shoes would you suggest to a noobie with a 3 year old who has had face meet floor over those walmart play-offs?
Hi Katrina! Sorry to hear you ended up with the “slippers” instead of ballet slippers! I would suggest trying Payless Shoes and looking for a leather soled shoe (they sell a Capezio shoe that’s fairly inexpensive). Good luck!
