sillysally Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Hi all, My DD needs to buy some R-Class/Russian Pointe shoes (same brand just diff names for diff markets europe/uk/america). She is now in vocational school in UK, whilst I the family lives abroad, so I thought we would be able to order online from UK (it can be quite expensive to send from europe post brexit)but I cant find any shops offering the brand. RClass look ok and last well. We have tried other brands but cannot find good alternative. Does anybody know of any sellers/shops? Thanks for your help. Have a great Friday sillysally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanprincess Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 It is tricky to find R-Class here! I order online direct from Russia via Za Tancyi website. It can be a little tricky to navigate if you don’t speak Russian though- feel free to drop me a DM if you want any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of shops near us in the NE seem to sell them now. Whereabouts in the country is your dd @sillysally? People will be able to suggest some shops nearby I’m sure.

Peony Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 If she’s at Elmhurst Dancique in Birmingham. some of the models are only available as r class and not Russian pointe (and probably vice versa!) so you may need to check they can get speciflfic models and the lead time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Foo Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 The Dance Shop in Edinburgh have good stock and will send quickly. Dance Evolution near Oxford used to have great stock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mummy twinkle toes Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Dancique in Birmingham have a good supply of Russian pointe and deliver too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 It was my understanding that they are 2 separate brands.... but happy to be corrected! (I’d heard that R-Class was established by a former maker from Russian Pointe but that may be wrong...???) My DD felt she’d finally found ‘her shoe’ with R-Class. They look lovely & a really nice colour & finish. Supplied by ‘The Dancers Room’, website & a shop in Lichfield in U.K. The owner Becky is very helpful & we get them posted to DD at school. Not ordered for a while (lockdown limited amounts of pointe work done.....ha ha, finally a positive Covid effect; I saved quite s bit of money in probably buying around 6 fewer pairs!!) They have also in the past run a loyalty scheme so check if that’s still on offer....I can’t quite remember what it was....(30% off third or fourth pair rings a bell...???) https://www.thedancersroom.co.uk 01543 415014 Reminds me I was asked to re-order finally!! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BalletProLtd Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Sorry this is very late to answer this but hopefully it helps anyone else who is looking, especially those who won't be able to find their R-Class once Dancia in London closes. We have a large network of shops across the country still selling R- Class. See https://www.balletpro.co.uk/pages/find-a-stockist to find one. Otherwise do get in touch with us on 01223 861425 in the Uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mum of unicorn dancer Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Ballet Boutique in Wimbledon for RC and Dance4one in Walton on Thames for RP. I think just ballet might have some RP too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
