Dress Code | Murphy Irish Dance

Dress Code & Shoe Information

All dancers must have shoes in class.
When purchasing Irish dancing shoes, please do not order off Amazon or dancewear stores. These tend to come in not fitting dancers' feet properly.
Mini Murphs and Beginners may begin buy purchasing black ballet shoes (girls) or black jazz shoes (boys).
Returning students and when Beginner/Mini Murph dance families are ready to purchase proper Irish dancing shoes please contact Celtic Soles.
We plan to have Celtic Soles out to the Grafton studio in at the end of summer/beginning of fall.
Before buying new, you can look on our Murphy Buy/Sell Page for outgrown dance shoes.
Dancers performing at a feis must have proper dance shoes.
Dancers ready for hard shoes must either purchase Fayes hard shoes or Feis Fayre Flexi Pro hard shoes
Dancers feising should not have worn down shoes.
Dancers needing tape for their shoes must bring that to each dance class.
