FVAD second-hand dance-wear

August 13, 2016

We sell second-hand dance-wear on consignment to keep the cost of dance training as low as possible, and to reduce waste wherever we can.

FVAD second-hand dance-wear

Any of our dress code leotards and tap/character/jazz shoes, plus all outer wear that we sell (hoodies, t-shirts, shorts, skirts, leg warmers, sweater wraps, etc) can be brought in to the office for re-sale. For hygiene reasons, we do not resell tights.

Once the item sells, the credit is put on the family’s account minus a small admin mark-up.

Swap Box

For ballet slippers, toe pads, or half-turners, which have less of a resale life, we maintain a swap-box of used shoes. Swap your old pair for another set that fits. The swap-box is also very handy when students forget their ballet slippers – as they will inevitably do!

Scholarship Fund Donations

Once a family is no longer enrolled at the school for more than three months, any items they have left behind for resale may be donated to the FVAD Scholarship Fund, to be given to a family in need. Items sold within that three month period will be credited to their account.

Items may be donated directly to the fund at any time, rather than resold. Please let us know when you drop off your used items if you wish to re-sell or donate to another family.

There are so many benefits to organizing these second-hand items for sale, and we’re pleased to facilitate the process for everyone. You just have to remember to bring in your old items for resale – we’ll do the rest!
