Dance shoes are a helpful addition for classes. Socks are slippery and bare feet sticky. As we progress to dancing pathways across the floor the stability of a ballet slipper is substantial. My number one priority is to keep your children safe in my class. I will not let them do certain pathway dancing without a proper shoe. 
* I found this brand on Amazon , it's a FULL leather sole shoe for better stability. They come in black and pink . I know it's difficult to invest in another pair of shoes but it can make a world of difference for your child in class. I'm not affiliated with Amazon or this company on any level .
