Irish Dance Socks - Poodle Sock Information & Updates

 Irish Dance Socks - Poodle Sock Information & Updates

All Irish Dancers under 21 wear socks called "Poodle Socks" as part of their attire for performances.  We also recommend dancers wear poodle socks for lessons as Irish dance shoes can over-stretch with thick socks.  

• Poodle socks should be kept clean and white (please use bleach or alternative when washing to keep them white)  
• We recommend you purchase several pairs of poodle socks for practice and save one pair for performance.

NEW FOR 2022 - ANKLE LENGTH POODLE SOCKS

To bring us up to date with current trends and, we will be switching to ankle length poodle socks for all dancers under 21 years of age. Ankle length poodle socks are much easier for dancers to wear thank knee length and require less glue to stay up.

 

Any brand of Ankle length poodle sock is acceptable for dancers to wear, provided they follow the guidelines for ribs below.

 

POODLE SOCKS NOW AVAILABLE AT STUDIO.

Poodle socks are not available locally and must be ordered from over-seas.  We now have a limited supply of poodle socks in stock at the studio which can be purchased  through our ON-LINE STORE - CLICK HERE

 

We advise dancers to purchase socks well in advance of upcoming performances to insure we have them available and in stock.

 

Sizing is in UK - please add 1.5 to the size listed below for US / Canadian sizing.

 

 

SOCK GLUE

Poodle socks must be glued in order to prevent them from falling down.

 

Sock Glue is supplied by MSDSA for all dancers at performances.  For dancers who prefer not to share, sock glue is available for purchase at the studio or on-line from Irish dance supply stores or on Amazon.
