Keeping Tap Shoes Tied

Keeping Tap Shoes Tied

Don't stress about tap ribbons coming untied on stage. Have parents sew and elastic loop the same color as the shoe through the ribbon holes. Have students wear the shoe just like that or sew the bow ontop of the elastic. Another idea is to use elastic ponytail holders with a one sided hard decoration on it. Thread the elastic side of the ponytail holder through the ribbon holes and secure around the decoration. The Liberts dancewear and costume company actually sell these. Lastly, you can just make sure that everyone as least double ties their tap shoe ribbons.
