This time each year we put up our Christmas trees in each store, fill it with dancing ornaments, your pointe shoe creations, and a little love from our design department. We meet Nutcracker participants, Christmas show dancers, and the like all gearing up for their performances. We get coaches and instructors coming in to design costumes for their upcoming season, and we get in all of our adorable winter fashion.

                                                     First stop: The Generic Super Hero

Throw on a long sleeve leotard over some bright tights, grab some fabric for a cape, rubber gloves, and finish it off with some tall boots, and you my friend can go save the world.

Step 1) Pick an animal

Step 2) Paint your face like said animal

Step 3)Wear a headband and glue some fabric on it to look like ears

Step 4) Where the color of said animal

Step 5) Be FABULOUS

 

Third Stop: The "Punny" Costume

Pick a common saying and put a spin on it!

These are easy to put together, you just need to be clever!

"Ceiling Fan"

Just get a nude leo and a blonde wig and BOOM. Done.

Back to School Pointe Shoe Bash!

Back to school means tossing out old shoes and making room for new! Ever wonder what you can do with your old pointe shoes? Instead of hiding them away in a box in closet somewhere gathering dust, why not turn them into an art project?
We at Black and Pink did just that, starting our first pointe shoe decorating contest! Posted on our facebook page and tallied by the number of "likes" each received, the winner walked away with a $100 gift card and a shoe of their own creation.
Check out some of the awesome shoes that were entered!

1st Place!

2nd Place!

In addition to decorating them, you can put them in a shadow box and mount them on your wall.
If you had enough, you could turn them into ornaments and make a pointe shoe Christmas tree!
