Book your pointe shoe fitting with us 🩰 Message us here on Instagram or WhatsApp 01322 336443. Appointments go quickly!

Already booked? Here’s how to get ready 👇🏼

Before your pointe shoe fitting, please take a moment to read through — it’ll help everything run smoothly on the day! 🩰

What to bring — If you’ve previously worn demi-pointe or pointe shoes, please bring them along with any padding. This helps our fitters make helpful comparisons for your fitting.

✔️Teacher approval — You must have your ballet teacher’s permission before beginning pointe work. If our fitters feel you’re not quite ready, we won’t proceed — but we’ll always offer guidance and advice to help you get there. Dancer safety is always our number one priority 🫶🏼

🩹 Foot health — Please ensure any injuries, even minor ones like blisters or cuts, have fully healed before your appointment as these can affect the accuracy of your fitting.

💅 Toenail care — Please arrive with neatly trimmed toenails — we really do mean this one! 😊

🩰 What to wear — Convertible ballet tights or ballet socks so we can properly check fit and alignment.

🛍️ After your fitting — Once ribbons and elastics are sewn, pointe shoes become final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. Want a recheck before sewing? Please come back to us — we’re always happy to see you!

If you have any questions before your appointment, please don’t hesitate to get in touch 💜

📩 DM us here on Instagram or 📲 WhatsApp 01322 336443 to book your space!

Movement and drape in one 🤍 The 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 give you room to stretch, extend and move, with shorts built in underneath and a tapered leg that stays neat at the ankle.

Wear them to class, to warm up, or just to lounge in. White, Grey or Black, which one are you going for? 👀 It’s a small exclusive run, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Ever ordered a Halloween mask or wig online and it turned up looking nothing like the picture? 😬

Skip the disappointment and pop into your local shop instead. You’ll see exactly what you’re getting, our prices are often cheaper than online, and there’s no messing about with returns.

Wigs, masks, makeup kits and more, all here on your high street. Once our Halloween stock is gone, it’s gone 🎃
