I had to buy character shoes and came here…read more As others mentioned, it's beneficial to have several brands sold here (including Bloch and Capezio etc.). The prices are very fair and they even had some shoes on clearance. Character shoes seemed to range from $40-$80. I received very friendly customer service and I was appreciative of the help and advice. One thing I really liked is that they did not try to rush me or force me to choose quickly. They also did not try to push me into buying the more expensive option. Instead, they offered to put shoes on hold for me so that I could think about it and come back if I needed to since I was in between two styles. Another thing I liked is that they had a wood floor inserted into the room with a ballet barre so that people can properly get the feel of a shoe on a dance floor. They also have a bathroom which is always nice. Overall, I highly recommend this dance store! It is so refreshing to find a good one with friendly employees, fair prices, and a wide selection.

I heard a weird fat shaming comment from a worker there (not towards me personally), but overall the staff has been very friendly and knowledgeable. I have not seen this worker since so maybe they're no longer there. However, I had to remove a star for sizing; more sizes would be nice that fit longer-torso dancers. I also wish they'd stock another brand of tights since I'm not fond of capezio brand, but I'm not sure- maybe this has been updated since I've been.

I was hoping to find a local business to support, but will not go back here. I went in to purchase…read moremy daughter's first pair of ballet slippers, and she was so excited. I asked the woman if a company makes split sole slippers for toddlers. I was a dancer for years and I knew what I wanted. She said no. I didn't really believe her, but my daughter was so excited to have ballet slippers, I didn't have the heart to leave without getting a pair. So I bought a Capezio pair for $22. I promptly went home and found split sole slippers on amazon for much less, from a reputable brand. The woman was also quite short with us, did not greet us when we came in, and didn't really answer my questions about sizing. I was hoping for a neighborhood spot to return to for years. I'll have to keep looking.
