Despite it being a busy Saturday, I was helped within minutes of arriving for my appointment. Jenny made the entire experience feel welcoming and professional--her kindness and expertise immediately put me at ease. When I wore the shoes to class, my teacher actually asked where I got fitted, saying they were "the best fit I've seen on a dancer in a long time." I can't recommend The Dance Store enough. Whether you're getting fitted or shopping for any of your dance needs, don't go anywhere else!

It took more than 8 pairs before the fit was right. But service was great from the first pair through the 8th pair. I was very impressed with the level of service.

Iliana went above and beyond to address my concerns and actually spent time asking me questions and brought out multiple pairs until we found the perfect pair. Not only was she extremely patient, she answered all my questions. I finally felt heard and not rushed into a decision. She was very professional and kind. I will definitely be returning. There is a huge selection here, for youth and adults alike. I definitely reccomend!

This little Dancer's shop is owned by Josephine's (Pointe Shop) mother, "Grace". Grace has owned…read morethis shop for over a decade or more; and through the years she has collected a large trove of several pointe shoes, leotards and all things you would need from the smallest of accessories to the newest designs! Hours of Operation is regularly 10am to 6pm daily (see website hours). It is a well-known and popular shop. Grace runs the shop solo and her assistant is there every other day. Please be patient, Grace understands each shoe is costly especially if they are Pointe shoes $125 and up, so she gives you the patience of "time to decide" versus being rushed. She will give you options based on if you have wide feet, narrow, or even a lower heel fit in the back to avoid scraping the skin off your heels. Ultimately, you leave having picked your first pointe/ballet/jazz/contemporary/character shoes comfortably. Customers can walk in and might have to wait longer, but there is so much to look for to pass time. There is no returns for dancers shoes and many items with any wear on them. Is it worth the wait? I think so. You drove out there and the options are endless from the floor to the ceiling. Many shoes that have run out in other dance places may still be here. Ask? If your shoe design is gone, Grace will give alternatives and honest feedback of similar shoes. Cost is the same as other Dance stores. Location is off the Aliso Creek Road exit and you'd turn into a small street called "Journey", it's in a small business nook. Business owner: Grace presents with a humble nature. She is experienced having been a ballet dancer herself and then understanding the needs of dancers. She is helpful in shoe fittings because she understands it is the fit that makes the difference. The customer also has to speak up their preferences so she can help identify what your personal preferences and fit are too! She carefully listens and guides you. We leave here feeling as if we have visited a family member who is so respectful, kind and gracious. Exceptional****** Grace always picks up her business phone unless she is helping a customer. We have bought 6 Pointe' shoes here for the Houston Summer Intensive of 5 weeks and we feel equipped! We just love and adore "Grace" at Dancers Choice. Thank you Grace!!!

Kimber was incredibly helpful. She got me all the sizes I asked for. The shoe still didn't feel right so I asked if the store had any other black character shoes or shoes that looked like character shoes. She brought so many boxes. She was so helpful. I went with a totally different brand that I had not seen at other dance stores, because they were one of the non theatre shoes that Kimber brought out. I feel much better than when I went in.

You can feel the owner Susan's presence in every detail, from the beautiful displays to the way she thoughtfully helps each child and family find exactly what they need. We've been coming here since the shop opened in 2012, and it's truly been part of our lives ever since. Susan goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels taken care of, not just as customers, but as people. Whether it's a first pair of ballet shoes or something special for a performance, this place is more than a store... it's an experience. The energy is always uplifting, and it's clear that this is a space built with love. Highly, highly recommend to any dance families looking for quality, care, and a beautiful shopping experience.

We value this place not just for what it sells, but for what it gives: comfort, kindness, joy, and community.

She commented you keep asking me to bring shoes so you can buy somewhere else. My wife called me while i was in the car and I told her to leave and not buy a single item.
