Dancers new to Irish Dance and the Culkin School do not need to come day 1 with Irish Dance shoes; try the class a week or so in your socks or light soled shoes, and then commit to the shoes! Here are your options:
OUR “SHOE BIN” FOR GENTLY USED SHOES
Boys ‘Reel’ Shoes
There is a “gently used” shoe box where our dancers can often find just what they need! When your dancer outgrows their shoes, please consider donating to this box!
There are a variety of shoes in baggies with contact information. Some shoes are for sale, some for free. Feel free to try on pairs of shoes—if there is a pair that fits, contact the person selling and pay for them. Please make sure to replace any shoes not being bought back in the correct baggies with the contact info. If you have any questions, please talk to your instructor.
