Greetings!

 

We would like to welcome you back to dance!  We hope you have had a wonderful, relaxing summer.   As you get back in to the swing of things remember to let us know if there is anything that we can do to help.

 

We have seen so many new faces this back-to-school season and we recognize that many of you have traveled some distance to get the Footlights experience. So we here at Footlights want to say "Thank You"!  In August we celebrated our 20-Year Anniversary and we know that our loyal customer base is the force behind this longevity. In return, we strive to give you the best and most knowledgeable customer service that we can. We continue to train our staff in fitting expertise.  In addition, we are always adding to our inventory so that you have more options at Footlights than at any other dance store you have ever visited.

 

Again, thank you for your patronage and have a splendid dance year!

 

Sincerely,

 

Joy Ellis

Nutcracker Pointe Shoes

 

It's hard to believe but with the fall brings Nutcracker rehearsals.  Many of you have already started preparing for Nutcracker.  That means you will need pointe shoes!pointe shoe
The earlier you order your shoes the better.   The closer it gets to performance time the greater the chance that shoes will be out of stock or on back order at the manufacturer.

 

This year Footlights is giving you more incentive to order your shoes early.  If you order pointe shoes and pay in full by 10/19/11 you will receive double FIPP points!  These are incentive points that will garner you coupons and discounts for future purchases. That is any pointe shoe sale between now and 10/19, as many pair as you want!  They do not have to be for Nutcracker, but we strongly suggest those of you who will need shoes for Nutcracker to order them now!

You must be signed up for FIPP to receive points, you will not receive them automatically.
