Off The Sales Rack...
Smooth SALE-ing
 

Well, it's that time of year again: Back-to-School. And with that brings our Back-to-School Sale. Most of you knew it was coming, and have been anxiously (and various degrees of patiently) waiting. Now that it's here, let me share some tips to make the most of your Footlights shopping trip.

 

First off, you've all heard about it... ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Joy is adding a second location in Silver Spring, MD! For all of you Mont. Co., D.C. and NoVa  residents, this should make things much easier on you. Beginning this fall, you can take advantage of this new store to save you time and gas. The new store will have the same merchandise as the original Frederick location; if either Footlights store has what you need, we can get it to you.

 

Now for those Smooth Sale-ing tips...Most likely, we will utilize a number system on the first day or two of the sale. Believe it or not, even if you arrive at open, you might still find yourself waiting. We have given out numbers in the past with success and hopefully it will continue this year.

 

When you arrive, the numbers will be located at our registers. Ask the associate ringing sales (or nearest fitter) for a number, and begin perusing the merchandise. Fitters will be traveling between all sides of the store to help our customers, so be aware of what is going on across the store, not just the side where you need to shop, to be helped quicker

Employee Spotlight
Heather Grimm

Question: Favorite thing about Footlights?  Do you have a favorite pointe shoe?

 

Heather: Joy & Terry - they have been here for me through all my dance & life travails.  They even helped - along with Capezio - to design a pointe shoe for me after I had gone through all the shoes in the store, once even breaking one doing a Releve in the store! So if you wear a Capezio 190 - you're welcome.  Other than that shoe I love the SoDanca Claudia and Toshie and the Suffolk Solo Prequel.
