You will either need pink ballet shoes or toe pads for this class. It depends on the type of dance the class will perform at recital …either ballet or jazz. I like to see the class for a couple weeks before deciding that. Until I announce what type of shoe will be required, whatever you have at home will work for the first couple of weeks (or during one of our Summer sessions) … even a pair of socks will do.
