Best Dance Classes in Wigan

No, it is best to see if your child settles in the school before buying any uniform. Initially you need a stout pair of shoes for Tap, and bare feet for ballet (young children only). It is best that they wear something light and does not restrict them, for example jogging pants and a loose fitting top.

A good warm up is important for all but the youngest students. Dancing is a strenuous activity that can easily damage muscles. Cold muscles are much more likely to tear or strain. A good warm up which stretches and warms the muscles is the best way of preventing this type of injury.

They can be ordered form good dancewear shops, but most students get them from Dorothy. If you need her details then come and ask Miss Susan or myself. Details of the ribbon layout can be found on the uniform page.

It is extremely important that pointe shoes are fitted correctly. There are many manufacturers and you will normally need to try a number before you find the one which suits your foot. The most important thing is that they shou ld be fitted by an expert to ensure that you get the correct show for your child. You can also expect your pointe shoe requirements to change as your feet get stronger and change shape. We would not recommend you order pointe shoes off the internet, unless you are an experienced dancer or you are absolutely sure the shoes will fit.
