it was the night before opening...

And there'll be little sleep!Purely through excitement of course :) 

Everything is priced, displayed and ready to go.  Although we've had a few emergency sales during the weeks of prep for the store, tomorrow is Encore's official first day.

Sienna, Poppy and Emily came for their first pointe shoe fittings on Saturday which was an absolute pleasure.  Three at once seemed quite a task, but it couldn't have been more useful.  The girls took interest in learning how the shoes should fit and feel and were incredibly patient as they tried on shoes again and again. All the girls were able to find a shoe that they felt comfortable and supported in.  No dancing in them yet though as the shoes are Christmas presents and of course - you need to be with your dance teacher first, no pirouettes en pointe please (not yet anyway)!
We are very much looking forward to being open 'properly'.  Please bear with us as we learn about your needs, we promise to always do our very best.

And quick, get in before all the gorgeous pineapple products disappear from the shelves!
