Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize Expertise and Support: Consistently highlight the staff's knowledge (especially in fittings), the quality of products, and the brand's role in helping dancers achieve their best.
• •Use "Confidence" and Community-Focused Language: Incorporate the core message of "Meet the challenge of Dance with Confidence" and frequently mention involvement with, and support for, the local dance community.
• •Maintain a Welcoming and Accessible Voice: Even when discussing technical aspects like pointe shoe fitting, ensure the language is approachable and inviting, reinforcing that all dancers are welcome. Avoid overly exclusive or intimidating jargon.
• •Leverage Heritage When Appropriate: Subtly weave in the brand's long history (since 1976) to build trust and convey experience, without sounding dated.
• •Be Solution-Oriented and Helpful: Frame product descriptions and service explanations around how they solve a dancer's needs or enhance their experience (e.g., "Find the perfect [item] for your [dance style/need]," "Our [service] helps you...").
