Attention Dance Parents: TAU Shoe Swap The Art Underground Shoe Swap is now up and running! If you have kids who have outgrown dance shoes and need new ones, we've developed a system to help everyone recycle their old shoes and save money on buying new ones full price. Steps for the shoe swap are outlined below.
IF YOU WANT TO SELL:
1. Put your used shoes (in good condition) in a ziplock bag. If you would like set a price (example $5) for the shoes, please mark it on the bag and your name. If there is no price, we will assume the shoes are free to a good home.
2. Give the bag to your dance teacher. We will put it in a bin in the main studio. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE SHOES IN THE OFFICE.
3. Periodically, the teachers will check the Shoe Swap bin, look for "sold" bags, and return the money to the name on the bag.
IF YOU WANT TO BUY:
1. Ask to look in the Shoe Swap bin. (Please do this before or after a class, not during!)
2. If you want to keep shoes, just check the price and put your check or cash in the bag.
The shoe swap will be on an honor system. Please use it, but don't abuse it.
