For every pair of ballet socks sold, The Dance Sock Academy Ltd, a company formed by Jenna to make socks, donates a pair of sports or school socks to Kiwi children in need through The Clothing Project. Jenna loves to make ballet magical and interesting for her students and uses imagery and props to help them with their technique. Socks, with fairies, wands, stars, with a few strings attached, are now proving to be an invaluable extension to this.
