| Useful phone numbers for ordering shoes |  |
Do not buy shoes before checking with your teacher.
Some shoes are more suitable than others for some children.
Remember soft shoes stretch, so don't buy "room to
grow" or they look untidy
No retailer will exchange shoes which have been worn or marked in
any way. So when you get your mail order shoes, make sure you try
them on carpet first or you won't be able to exchange them even
if they do not fit.

Not only for travelling (especially on aircraft) but also for permanent storage of your dress while it is at home. These are made in NZ and are a great buy. www.irishdancingbags.co.nz . They are an original design by Helen Doyle.
