Welcome to the Academic Dance Year – 2022-2023

Buying dancewear and shoes, News

Summer is over and we are all preparing for the new term.  So what’s up with us?

The Ballet Shop has been busy reorganising some of its stocks and setting up some discounts that might be of interest before the hols end – for that, look at our Bargains Corner.  We keep this section alive and make changes from time to time, adding new dance wear or shoes that have reached end of line or that we’d like to offer at a discount.  This includes dance sneakers, pointe shoes, certain leotards and so on.  We’ve also stocked a Sansha tutu in black, if you’re interested

 

We’re also looking at new offers in dancewear to give to you – combinations of dancewear set up as a single product and priced competitively so as to be affordable.

It looks like theatres worldwide are set to open up again as normal so we would be delighted to hear what shows you are looking to visit.  We are excited to see what’s on the calendars at theatres across Malta this season and look forward to seeing some of our lovely dancewear worn on stage.

Remember that we offer discounts to dance schools, dance troupes and dance companies when bought in bulk.  Contact us for further information.

COVID and the Arts

Buying dancewear and shoes, Uncategorized

A year has passed since COVID has hit the island here in Malta. We followed suit after a number of countries did.

The arts were among the biggest sectors to suffer – dance not being the least.  We’ve not only had theatres close, but dance and other performing arts schools were closed, alongside ‘contact sports’. Recent articles have attempted to justify the lack of business sense, giving little recognition to the artists’ needs to express themselves.

So far, we have only had one ‘lockdown’ with a second all-round closure of almost everything. Performances are, however, still to an empty auditorium and dancers are having to adapt to this new reality.  Performance sand classes are still online and despite widespread vaccinations, many are still afraid to venture out into crowds or classes.  Not that they can be  blamed.

Schools are set to open on 10th May, for dance, alongside restaurants and some other outlets.

We have kept safe, delivered some online orders, and monitored on-goings.  We hope to continue to be of service to you all.  Luckily we have managed with our very small overheads, and will be happy to service your dancing needs again.  Remember to contact us for an appointment if you need to try on your dancewear (that’s if you are in Malta) – or even if you just have a query about anything on our site!
