While dance classes offer instruction on proper technique, the proper shoes give the support and flexibility dancers need to move gracefully. That’s why The St. Laurent School of Dance helps students find perfectly fitting shoes for their dance classes. As the premier performing arts academy in Honolulu, HI, they offer classes in ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, and contemporary styles to students as young as 3 years old. Dance students may also take singing lessons from Teresa Bright, one of Hawaii’s leading vocalists.

Each type of dance class requires a different type of shoes. No matter which type of dance shoe students wear, a perfect fit is essential to success. Properly fitting shoes are necessary for dancers to master the steps correctly and safely. Those that are too big or too small can ruin their technique and damage growing feet.

The staff at The St. Laurent School of Dance help all of their students find the right sized shoes, working closely with Step-n-Up dancewear store. For the all-important milestone of selecting a dancer’s first pointe shoes, school director Madame St. Laurent accompanies the student to Step-n-Up to ensure a perfect fit. Their goal is to make sure every student is as comfortable and supported as possible during their dance classes.

With properly fitting shoes, a positive attitude, and individualized instruction from a talented staff, every student will improve their form in dance classes at The St. Laurent School of Dance.
