If you've ever walked into a dance store and been completely overwhelmed (Canvas or leather? Split sole or full sole? What size? What width? Ahhhh!!) fret no more! This episode is for you.☺️
In this episode, I'm diving deep into everything you need to know about buying ballet slippers as an adult dancer. Whether you're brand new or you've been dancing for years and still haven't found your perfect shoe, this one covers it all.
In this episode: - Canvas vs. leather: the key differences and when each makes sense - Split sole vs. full sole: what teachers recommend and why it matters for your level - How to choose the right color for a long leg line - The truth about ballet slipper sizing (hint: it is NOT your street shoe size) - How to determine your width and what to look for in a proper fit - Recommendations by foot type: narrow, wide, high arch, flat feet, etc. - My personal favorites!

My recommendation of the Pro 2.0 is entirely my own. I loved them so much that I reached out to ask if they'd like to partner with the show. The discount code is a perk that came after — the obsession came first. 😄
