I think if it gives 3 or 4 seasons of uninterrupted use it will be worth every penny, in addition to which it gives Citrus something else to moan about

I can tell you this from bitter experience and a Checchetti space cadet, it's a bloody expensive pastime..

Thank god. The high street is saved !!!


Tap shoes too... so we can Fred Astaire our way to the nearest Starbucks exalting the virtues of Mary Portus’s visionary counter-attack on disruptive retail technologies!

ZippyRN,
I should think even Dance supply specialists have taken a hit from internet sales, when you Google pointe shoes there are numerous suppliers who will sell them based on your shoe size, not something I know much about but I should think a specialist would look at your feet and make a pair to provide maximum protection for your feet.
Is dance a sport, or a pastime ? I know it's in the Olympics.
