Ballet Slipper question?

I just bought my first pair of Ballet Slippers for a dance class I'm taking in HS. They are Capezio ballet slippers. Do I need to do anything to them before taking my class?

if the elastic isn't sewn yet, you'll need to do that. that can be done two ways either one straight across like in this pic http://www.jaysdancewear.com/shoe_images...

or the elastic can be sewn crossing with two elastics like in this second pic http://www.danceclass.com/images/BalletS... (most older students sewn their shoes crossed like the second pic) you will also have to pull the drawstrings tight so they around your foot tie them in multiple knots and then cut them off (at the bottom of this next web page their are pics to help you with your drawstings if you don't know what I'm talking about) http://www.danceclass.com/ballet-clothes...

well the last thing you need to do is try to break them, since you haven't really learned anything yet because you haven't been to class you can't really practice anything yet, but once you learn stuff in class practice A LOT at home to help break your shoes in quicker and so that you become good! good luck with ballet and have fun : )

Well if they didn.t come with the elastic attached then you will want to sew the elastic. But if they came all ready then you should be ok. Try wearing them around the house to get used to the feeling of them.
you have to break them in just bend them in half a couple times then wear them around your house so they can relax into your foot and take shape. If there isnt any elastic on them sew it on. And never wear them outside.
you need to sow some elastics on them right in the middle because sometime the heel slipps of
You should sew the elastics on and walk around in them to get the feel of them.
you'll want to sew the elastics on before you start to dance. Also, if they're a full soled shoes, then do a little bit of dancing and releveing in them before you go to break them in. If they're split sole, you don't need to do anything.
nope the only shoes you really have to break in is toe shoes
