Dance Essentials is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
What that means in plain terms
When you buy something through a link on this site, Amazon pays us a small commission. You pay exactly the same price. The commission comes out of Amazon’s margin, not your pocket.
How recommendations are chosen
Every product here is chosen by Erin Born, who owns and teaches at BORN Dance Academy in Lansing, Michigan, and has danced for over thirty years. Products are selected because they meet a studio dress code and hold up in real classes. No brand pays for placement, and no brand can buy a recommendation.
Where a shoe needs proper fitting, we say so, and we recommend getting sized at a local dance shop if you have one nearby.
Prices
We show general price ranges rather than exact prices, because Amazon prices change constantly and a number printed here would be out of date within hours. Always check the current price on Amazon before buying.
