Can I wear My Dance shoes outside?

Answer: No!

We highly recommend that you do not wear your dance shoes outside. Here are several important reasons why:

Sanitary and Cleanliness: Bringing outside elements like dirt, rocks, or gum into the studio can compromise the cleanliness and safety of the dance environment. These items can end up on the studio floor and potentially hurt dancers.
Shoe Integrity: Using your dance shoes outside can ruin the shoe soles, especially on ballet and tap shoes, causing them to wear out more quickly. This will result in the need to replace your shoes more frequently, adding unnecessary expense.

For these reasons, it is important that all dance shoes be designated strictly for studio use and not for other activities, especially outside.
