Clubbing Tutus

Written on 20 Nov 2008, 06:36 PM

We are now well into November and there seems to be no drop in demand for funky clubbing tutus.We now stock the widest range of designs and styles in the area and custom made tutus can still be ordered from childrens sizes to the more voluptous lady. While the bright flo colours are still popular the sparkle tutus are coming out for christmas. At Blush Dance we expect these to be as popular as the flo pink tutus in the run up to christmnas, especially with the 'clubland' concert coming up too. Read more

Pointe Shoes

Written on 20 Sep 2008, 10:36 PM

Blush Dance now boasts a fully qualified Pointe Shoe fitter by Grishko. Fittings are preferred to be booked on for an appointment as we like to be able to take our time to get a perfect fit and recommend all customers take their shoes away and ask their dance teacher to doouble check.If not 100% satisfied we will refit.However we have yet to come across an unsatisfied customer!!!

Pointe work should not be painful if the pointe shoe is fitted correctly.The shoe should fit like a glove yet offer the required support with padding etc and any ohter accessories kept to a minimum and only used where required.

We are happy to discuss any requirements either in person or over the telephone we will open late and on Sundays to accomodate fittings when required.
