Apolla Performance
Apolla Performance products are known to be top-notch for dancers around the country for recovery and performance use. Recently featured on Shark Tank, Apolla’s compression socks and legwarmers leave dancers’ feet and legs feeling and looking great. Apolla Performance products use shock absorption technology to help comfort the balls of the feet and squeeze the arch of the foot for maximum comfort and support in any style of dance. The Amp Shock, Performance Shock, Infinite Shock and the K-Warmer are perfect to get your feet ready for whatever summer classes may bring.
Hair Products
Every dancer knows the struggle of reaching into their dance bag, looking for the right materials to make the perfect bun and finding…nothing. All of the hair ties, bobby pins and hair nets fall deep into the abyss that is the dance bag. So, in order to be prepared for the inevitable, extra hair ties, hair nets and bobby pins are a must to get through those rough summer classes. DWC has all of your needs covered with different styles and brands to choose from in store or online!
Tights
Tights are always a necessity in a dancer’s world. But, one of the most important things is making sure that you have enough. Many things can happen to tights like catching on a car door creating a run, or spilled coffee before an early morning class. So, to make sure that no runny tights are worn in class, extra pairs are always great to have. From Capezio to Russian Pointe, DWC has many options for dancers of all shapes and sizes to choose from!
