Gap + Ballet Tech: Drop-in, Dress up & Dance on 5th Ave.

Gap is turning its rotating concept store on 5th Ave. and 54th St. into a Tiny Dancers ballet studio in partnership with Ballet Tech, a tuition-free ballet school started by world-renowned choreographer Eliot Feld. On Wed., March 25, Gap and Ballet Tech will be opening their doors to NYC’s aspiring “tiny dancers.”

That’s pretty hot. I was a little confused about Gap’s motivations for this until I read this: “Stemming from Gap’s latest fashion trends for America’s little darlings, the concept store will feature Gap’s new ballet-inspired clothes and accessories, part of the upcoming babyGap and GapKids summer collection.”

Still pretty cool.
