APSD Online Store We are excited to announce an online store for Ann Parsley School of Dance! You will be able to purchase all of your favorite dance supplies via our online site including shoes, tights, leotards and more! Although, we will continue to stock most tights and ballet shoes in the studio, any other dancewear will need to be purchased via this site. Below is the link to our online shop.

(please note there is no .com at the end)

We will be sending a separate email that including FAQs and account setup instructions.

Cecchetti Uniforms The focus of Ann Parsley School of Dance is to produce a well-trained, technically sound, versatile dancer with a solid ballet foundation. We take pride in our deep dedication to providing pre-professional classical ballet training for serious ballet students. In an effort to promote this austerity, we have decided to implement individual class uniforms for Cecchetti Syllabus levels I-VII. A uniform will allow our instructors the ability to more clearly view any errors in the classical line and overall technique of the dancer, while also fostering the discipline required to master this art and promote a more serious ballet school atmosphere. As our required pink tights allow teachers to see the lines in the legs, the leotards we have chosen for each level will do the same for the dancer’s technique. With implementation of the uniform, no individual stands out for better or for worse, helping promote the harmony and unity of the ballet school we strive for. The uniform will be a requirement of Grades I-VII beginning November 1, 2017. The leotards can be purchased solely via our new online store. Leotards will not be available for purchase in the studio. Sample sizes of each style will be available to view and try on at the front desk. Please note that the dress code change does not apply to non-Cecchetti classes. The classes that do not need to follow this dress code include: Mommy & Me, Creative Movement, Beginning Ballet, Cecchetti Primary levels I, II and III, non-syllabus ballet classes and other dance styles such as jazz, lyrical, etc. We realize this involves an additional initial expense, however we have done our best to select affordable, high quality leotards. We are aware that some leotards are out of stock. This will be taken into consideration as the deadline approaches.
