About Capezio Closed – Faq

Donald asks…
What color of Capezio dance tights fits closest to Asian skin tone?
What would look the most natural?
Customer Service answers:
Options are limited but tan or light tan. Buy both and send one back.
I thought most dance studios insist upon regulation pink even if your skin tone is much darker.
The RAD site says they have recommended uniform but that apparel does not affect exam grades.

Apparently Capezio do a colour called coffee as well but I couldn’t spot it on their site

Helen asks…
Where I can get pointe shoes around the Bay Area?
I used to go to Dance Attire for everything, but they recently closed down. I know there’s Capezio in Vallco, but they tend to be a little pricey. I haven’t been to Victoria’s yet– they might have it. But does else anyone know other places where I can get pointe shoes?
Customer Service answers:
I’m not sure in your area. Most dance stores should stock them, you may not have a choice with buying more pricey shoes unfortunately. You can always order online but I would only recommend that if you know the exact shoe and size you want that you have previously owned or something otherwise it could be a little risky.

Michael asks…
Which is the best place to get fitted for pointe shoes?
Okay so monday i was told i am ready for pointe!
i am SUPER excited! but anyways the only choices i really have because there close to my house..sorta.. are capezio and discount dance supply. I heard capezio does not fit pointe shoes well so i might not go there also because of the prices, but do you know if discount dance supply fits pointe shoes well?
Customer Service answers:
I would go with either one because you will be able to feel if the shoes fit correctly or not if they are comfortable. If you don’t like the prices at Capezio, however, then I would go to discount dance supply.
