  PASS-A-LONG SHOES & DANCEWEAR!
All of our kids grow so fast! So if you have some out-grown dancewear, ballet, jazz, tap or acrobatic shoes you’d like to “Pass-A-Long” to another dancer – just tie, rubberband or bag them together; put size (or approximate) on bottom of shoe; place in the appropriate cube, located in the lobby. AND, if you need to “shop” for some shoes…feel free! Let’s see if we can help one another through the “growing pains.” This is donation only…no money will be exchanged. (If you would like to sell used shoes, you may post a note on the bulletin board.)
