Be sure to wear shoes that are comfortable enough to dance in all night or take them off and throw them in the Pond when the blisters start - lol. Most importantly, choose an outfit that makes you feel happy, confident and authentically you. Prom is a celebration, so have fun with your look! Phone: (585) 567-8100. Email: info@jonespond.com.
