What a great shop! We were a little nervous as we walked in to get ballet slippers for our 3 year old. Seeing all of the leotards, tutus, short criss-cross sweaters… we said«We are really coming into a whole new world!»(And one that seemed scary!) The ladies helping with shoe fitting were very nice and patient with our suddenly shy little dancer. When I asked if we «should» get anything else for her at this point,(realizing that I could have been opening a very expensive can of worms) the lady discouraged me from getting anything else until my daughter was comfortable and having fun dance. Wow! Who knows if our daughter is going to like dance so much that she will need the leotards and tutus, but I will feel very good going back to Finer Pointes to buy those things if she does!
