If your dancer is wearing the appropriate clothing, it will help them to understand they are going to a structured dance lesson (versus playtime). This is especially true for younger dancers. We do not require you to wear or buy anything specific for a trial dance lesson, but get creative on the clothes choices to make them feel like a dancer. If you are ready to make a purchase, receive 10% off your first order with Discount Dance by using our Dance To EvOLvE code: TP35961. You will also find affordable dance attire, dance bags, and shoes at stores such as Target, Payless, and sometimes Walmart. If you are not prepared and do not have the ballet or tap shoes, just let your dancer know you are going to try it for today and if the s/he likes it, then you will get the fun dance shoes.
