Carle Irish Dance

Shop Our Picks

We're always meaning to send you links. During class, at pickup, right after someone's roll of white tape turns out to be a dud that peels right back off. And somehow we always forget. So we finally sat down and put together every product we recommend, all in one place.

Hope it saves you a step!

Tried & True If you see this banner, we recommend sticking with this brand. We've tried several other brands, and while they may be similar and possibly a little less expensive, the quality just isn't the same.

Category

Apparel

T's, shorts, socks, and slippers sized for every dancer from tots to teens.

Category

Shoes

Rutherford is our go-to for performance shoes, buckles, and laces.

Before You Order

Please consult us before ordering unless you're 100% sure of your size. Don't order big. These are UK sizes, and the conversions shift as the sizes get larger, so a size that seems safe often isn't. Shoes also stretch quite a bit, but how much depends on the brand and style. We know these brands inside and out, so just ask! (Confident Company dancers, you're welcome to order on your own.)

Sizing varies more than you'd expect between styles. A few examples:

  • Miss Siobhan: size 9 US sneaker → size 5 Ultra Lite hard shoe, size 5.5 Super Flexi, size 6.5 soft shoe
  • Example dancer: size 4.5/5 sneaker → size 2 Ultra Flexi, size 2 Flexi, size 2.5 soft shoe
  • Example dancer: size 11 sneaker → size 10.5 Ultra Lite hard shoe, size 11 soft shoe

Category

Fitness

The bands, mats, and equipment we use for strength and conditioning work. Not required for every dancer, but they can be helpful for every dancer if they've learned the associated exercises! Inquire with Miss Siobhan.

Category

Feet

The tape, pads, and soaks that keep dancer feet ready to go, from blister prevention to post-class recovery.

Category

Beauty

Everything for wig day and stage-ready tan, from bobby pins to bronzer. Not required for every dancer; this is mainly for older, competitive Irish dancers.

Category

Wigs

We allow three colors. For styles, reach out to us and we'll help you decide. Camelia Rose is the far superior brand, so it's our go-to vendor.

Wigs aren't mandatory. They're only needed for dancers competing at a feis, not for our beginner or advanced beginner levels.
