Updates: My first…read morereview was 5 years ago!! Well I still love this place with great service and knowledgeable staff like Krystian ( whom is a former dancer himself). The ground floor store front is great!! Spacious and clean and organized. If your kid is like mine they tell you the dance shoes they are wearing is too small the day before the competition or recital! So I am so glad they are well stocked so I can get items right away. Before Covid I am all about supporting brink and mortar stores and now even more! They are Covid compliant so I feel safe about that. The price is very competitive so don't buy on Amazon ( I do with other stuff but if you can) bug your dance gear from here!!!

Everything I buy from here as gifts for my little niece-- she TREASURES! From the little mirror to…read morethe ballet bag to take to class. The biggest hit was the jewelry box- a musical one with a little ballerina. When she opened the bag she said IT'S PERFECT. I also gave her a little necklace, tutu, and bear in a tutu. The service here is amazing! Parents come here with their kids to get everything they need for dance class. The staff are dancers, so they are experts at fitting shoes etc. They have shoes for adults too. When I sign up for a salsa lesson (which has been a goal forever), I'll buy my shoes from here. So far, I got a cute little box with bobby pins and hair bands for myself. Even if you live far, this is the place to go . Selection and service- impeccable!! ‍

I love Yumiko! Beautiful, super comfy, high quality leotards, wonderful, super helpful sales…read moreassociates and a gorgeous store. They also have swatch cards and an area where you can play with swatches to create your perfect, customized yumi by special order. You can also save on shipping by having website orders shipped directly to the store. I do wish more fashion colors and styles were stocked ready to wear in size XL. I'm right between an L and an XL, depending on the style, and it would be nice to have options for colors other than black in that size. I do understand that their core customer skews much smaller and younger, so it makes sense to have more selection in the smaller sizes. I don't always want to wait 6 weeks for a custom piece! One other issue is that the fitting rooms, while beautiful and roomy and bright, tend to be somewhat uncomfortably warm, I guess due to all the bright lighting. I'm one of those people who is always cold, and even I find myself feeling overheated by the time I'm done trying on a few leotards. All that said, I am always very pleased with my purchases at Yumiko, and seriously, the sales team there is great, and always treats me well, despite my being an adult recreational dancer.

Nice clean store. Not any help offered ok nice stuff. Pricey but worth it fun experience. Thanksread more

For some reason, I had a heck of a time trying to find this place but once I walked in, I felt an…read moreoverwhelming sense of nostalgia. A friend has a daughter who is into tap, and shoes by Jason Samuels Smith are sold exclusively through Bloch so I was looking forward to seeing what they had in-store, in addition to some items for myself. Even though I walked into a rather busy shop, I was greeted by a sweet girl right away, and she brought out shoes and some pants I was interested in. There is only one fitting room so there will be a wait if there are more than a few people looking to try on dance/activewear. What fascinated me was watching someone get fitted for pointe shoes, and this took me back so long ago even though I was fitted at a different brand. A cool customer nearby gave me her opinion on the sizing of some pants I was hesitating to try (she teaches over at Alvin Ailey, so I'm taking her word for it) and then she was called over to assist with the fitting. Everyone here seemed to know one another and it made me think of how small the dance world really is. Sadly after trying on the shoes and pants, neither worked but I know I can order the pants online in the size and color I desired. As for the tap shoes, they had the basics (my favorite being the classic black and white oxfords) but the current seasonal color was...yellow. The daughter gave a definite no to those, so my work here was done. Even though I left empty-handed, it was great going down memory lane here at Bloch.

I came here for a pointe shoe fitting and the person who fit me, Lauren (I think) was wonderful,…read moreextremely knowledgeable, and super helpful in helping me find the right fitting shoe. Would definitely come back.
