Convertible footed tights - Capezio 1916 child/adult in color "Ballet Pink" or another color that matches skin tone. These tights will be rolled up off of feet at the beginning of class for barefoot work, and then pulled over feet with ballet shoes. Buy any brand like this so long as they are footed and convertible. 

Split Sole Leather Ballet shoe- Must try on at a store first for shoes that are fitted, do not buy to grow into. The brand of shoe will be determined by your child's foot-arch and width. Leather, pink, split sole are priorities with the fit. Shoes generally match a child's skin tone and the tights. Fitted shoes stretch with wear and sweat and mold to foot and comfort. Should fit like a glove. Do not wear before checking with instructor on first day in case you need to exchange the shoes.

Black split sole slip on jazz shoes- Should fit like a glove. These are designed to stretch and hopefully grow with growing feet. Any brand with priority of black, and slip on, and split sole.
