As we prepare for "Arizona Ballet Theatre's 2009 Nutcracker In The Land Of The Sweets ™ Party," I will repeat my Little Mini-Lecture On Required Footwear for Dress Rehearsals and Performances:


Required Footwear for Dress Rehearsals and Performances

  • Parents - This is the time to make sure Your Performer has all the proper foot wear for the Two Performances as well as the All-Important Dress Rehearsal.
  • For Ballet, all shoes must be ballet pink, made of canvas, or leather. Split sole ballet slippers are highly recommended.
  • Elastics and Ribbons must be securely sewn to the shoes and all extraneous cords, knotted several times and chopped off.
  • Ballet feet must be neat. Nothing dangling. Nothing tied in a little pink bow.
  • Also, since some ballet shoes currently available come halfway, pre-sewn; some tardy dancers have simply tied knots. Those knots are NOT acceptable for the Dress Rehearsal, Evening, and Matinee Performances. They are unsightly which is something a True Ballet Dancer NEVER wants to hear.
  • Jazz Shoes MUST BE black.
  • Tap Shoes MUST be Black.
  • I'll consult with Miss Megan and Miss Tori about Tap Ribbons. Color might be a nice touch. I love color.

    That's about it.
