Ashley's mother owned this store and fitted many ballerinas since the 80's and now, Ashley is carrying on that same tradition. Thus, you can imagine the vast knowledge she grew up with in owning a Dance Store, doing and teaching ballet has become her everyday language. What you'll find genuine about Ashley is she knows her stuff and tells it as it is. They're always busy after school hours, so I would suggests you definitely make an appointment. And take note, unless there's a clipboard lists already in place, of your place in line because Ashley does spend quality time fitting for pointe shoe fittings or any other dance shoes. She is well versed on most all the studios and what the teacher's preferences are therefore you know you'll be in good hands. Since my daughter started competitions, we have been so blessed by Ashley's support and wealth of wisdom especially when ballet can feel stressful. Ashley is a wonderful encouragement to our daughter in everything ballet and we can't begin to express our gratitude for her in words therefore we feel we have adopted Ashley as our daughter's "ballet mama". Thank you for getting her through it all and continuing to help us to this day Ashley. After YAGP 2026 performance, we took a pic in front of the dance attire section at Irvine Barclay Theatre. read more

Dance Threadz - Emery's adopted Ballet Mama, she gets us through last minute anything and always there - Dance Wear Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I came looking for ballet attire, I needed a few leotards and options for bottoms. They don't have a huge selection but their quality is great! Not a lot for adults but I did find a skirt! The prices were a little expensive but the service was great. read more

One stop shop for all of our ballet needs. Love the pins for the buns as they are much easier to use than regular bobby-pins. Friendly staff and they have always had at least one of everything I need. Love the selection of accessories too. read more

I arrived around 2pm on a Friday. There was no problem finding parking. When entering Dance Threadz, I was warmly greeted and she took me right away to try the pointe shoes. It was one of the best experiences for pointe shoe fittings. I did not feel rushed and was allowed to see which shoe would be the best fit for my feet. I tried on multiple brands and styles and found the Nikolay Neopointe to fit the best. The cost of the pointe shoes are reasonable. The plus is the program to stamp a card for each pointe shoes purchased. I'll be back again to get my next pointe shoes and to look through the rest of the store. They had leotards, tights, warmups in children and adult size. Lots of accessories too. read more

My daughter started point about 6 months ago, we have been elsewhere and I can tell you there is absolutely no comparison to Dance Threadz!!!! First appearance walking into the store they have have pride of ownership! They have done a great job with a very well put together store that is highly organized, very clean with a lot of options and inventory. Allison fitted my daughter, her knowledge and understanding of what the individual dancer needs given their level of experience was nothing short of amazing!!!!! I walked away from the experience, saying to myself "This is a true example of exemplary knowledge and customer service", something I think most us can agree is rapidly dying these days!!! We'll be back!!!!!!! read more

Thorough and great customer service our go to place for pointe shoes. They have a good selection of items as well .

Dance stores are few and far between. this is a great store for ballet needs. They have a nice selection of leotards, tights, shoes and more. They are very friendly. If you are getting toe shoes you will need to schedule a fitting. This is great to know up front. read more

Great show selection and customer service. The clothing selection could be improved. We look forward to the opening of the new location!

We came here after a less than ideal experience for a first fitting at another location. We were going to check out another, more popular place, but after researching we chose this store. We made our appointment over the phone after inquiring online. Customer service was excellent considering I needed to change the time and day a couple of times. Sorry! They handled it with grace which I appreciated since the circumstances were out of my control but we definitely needed new shoes and wanted to get them here. This store has so many unique products that would be normally hard to find if you didn't know the brands already and check out their website. The employees were kind and knowledgeable as well as helpful to a degree of confidence and enthusiasm to make sure you were getting what you wanted and needed. I say needed because they help you navigate your unique needs when it comes to Dancewear for the feet. You make walk in with an idea of what you're looking for but they were experienced enough to make corrections to your benefit if needed. I appreciated the time spent to fit points shoes and the details they provided regarding what they were looking for and what was needed for better performance in the dancer. They give you advice and guidance to help you achieve your potential in the shoes as well. Upon checking out you're given a card for future purchases, giving you a percentage off after 5 purchases of pointe shoes- a good value in my opinion. read more

My daughter is just starting pointe and our dance studio recommended Dance Threadz. You make an appointment so they can take the time and care to make sure you get exactly what you need. Allison was an absolute delight to work with. She was so kind and patient explaining all the options and teaching my daughter how to properly put them on. read more

Excellent service and competitive pricing. They are good at pointe shoes fitting, and carry decent stocks. Highly recommend. read more

What a perfect dance shop! Immediately upon walking in you can tell they have a great selection here. The lady there was so so friendly and personable, she was eager to help and got us our ballet shoes very quickly and fitted. They have the most adorable leotards here, it was hard to pick just one. I think we found our dance store to come back to on a regular basis! Will definitely be back for some more leotards! I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for dance wear! read more

When I finally got the chance to put my daughter in dance class, I was hoping this local store was still open. Many years back this was the place my lol would take me to get my dance shoes and accessories. In college I returned to keep buying what I needed. And now, even during this pandemic, I was able to take my daughter to her dance stuff. It was a great experience, she was able to try on her clothes and shoes so we could be sure it fit. And the owners daughter was kind and patient while we did. I hope this place stays for many more years and we can return for our next dance adventure read more

Been going here my whole life for lrdc, ocdc, gwc. It honestly feels like home they have everything I want and they always give me extra helpful tips they taught me how to sew my first pointe shoes and helps me with exactly what I needed great customer service and always friendly read more

I found this place on Yelp and I'm so happy I did. Both my girls have a dance recital coming up and I waited until the last minute to find the correct color tights, ballet shoes, hair nets and everything else. I know nothing about ballet or ballet attire but the tall blonde girl at this place totally helped me out. Super patient and even explained how to use a hair net. I don't live in the area but I will drive here just to get service like this. Another plus was this place was super clean and organized....which I appreciate. read more

I've been going here since 2017, when my daughter started ballet. My friend introduced it to me. The people are nice and gave me different suggestions what to buy, as a first time buying ballet clothing, it was a great help. Until now I still go there. read more

I love this place! I have casually done ballet for several years and needed new ballet shoes. I had no idea what size I needed or what type of shoe I wanted. They patiently fitted me for a new pair and listened to what I was looking for. I ended up wanting to exchange them and they were so sweet and helpful with that. I was nervous to exchange, you never know reactions at independent shops but they were so understanding. They have an amazing selection of leotards and shoes. I HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

I called looking for split sole dance sneakers for Zumba, having worn away the treading last year's Capezios. When the salesperson realized I was not a "real" dancer, she got snotty and essentially told me they had nothing for me. I always like to support a local business over online shopping, but I'm gonna Amazon this one. read more

Called ahead to see if they had the specific shoe in the size we needed and were fast to put it aside for us. Once we arrived the shoes were ready to try on and we were in and out in less than 10 mins. Staff was very helpful. read more

Service above and beyond! Dance Threadz solved my grand daughters dance crisis by overnighting a leotard needed when a last minute decision was made to film her Nutcracker in Denver. COVID challenges are not an easy task, but Marylou made it stressless. Grateful. Diane Makas read more

Because of the pandemic, I've ordered Christmas presents online, but my 4 year old granddaughter's dress and shoes haven't arrived and may not. So, I decided to shop locally and stopped here because it's close. They were enormously friendly and helpful. I was in and out in a hurry with exactly what I wanted. They were limiting the number of patrons, but it is a busy place. Obviously it enjoys a good reputation. read more

I come here because it's close and I don't have a clue about Dance since it's my daughter's first year. I'm not obsessive about the shoes, tights, leotards like some of the other people in there. I have standards, want my daughter to look good, have a nice fitting set-up and I'm not overly concerned about price, so for that, this place serves my needs. It seems like you need to be somewhat over the top in order to get the same level of attention and service. I'm sure they deal with newbies all the time, but my impression is that they are a bit snooty and thrive off of the moms and daughters that are a bit more "experienced" and Dance-zillas. My advice is that because you are a small business and are in an industry that caters to moms and GROWING kids, you have the opportunity to build loyalty over the long-term. Take advantage of that, don't take it for granted. read more

The other review is completely false. Everyone that works at Dance Threadz is very courteous and polite. I've never seen any of them on their phones and they are very knowledgeable about the product they sell. They have always called me back right away and I have never had any problems with them. I've been going to Dance Threadz for at least 13 years and the current owner is their best owner yet. I suggest you shop there for all your dance supply needs. Discount Dance Supply on the other hand is a terrible place to shop. Maybe the other reviewer mixed up the names. read more

I love, love, LOVE this place. I was really terribly fitted for my first pair of pointe shoes at another place by people who didn't care at all and couldn't be bothered to make sure I had the right kind. But over here they made sure that I had a perfect fit, the perfect brand for my feet, and helped me with my decision on which ones were the most comfortable and which ones helped me achieve my perfect lines. They also took the time to explain to me why a certain pointe shoe would be a better fit than others, and why the shoes I had before were absolutely horribly fitted. They were also so friendly and made me feel very welcomed. I 100% recommend this place. read more

We always have a great experience shopping here. Everyone that works here knows their stuff! Lots of great dance clothing, tights, shoes, gifts available. Make an appointment or leave yourself enough time to get shoes. Great customer service and selection! read more

Stopped in here with my 5 yr old daughter and they were SO great with her and trying on different pairs of dance shoes. Just bought her new ballet, jazz and tap shoes. Also we didn't get there til 20 min before close because of awful traffic on the 405 and they were still nice enough to take care of us. Highly recommend! read more

I can't tell you how great our experience was but I will try. My daughter had a bad experience with her first set of pointe shoes which left a sour taste in our mouth to make a long story short. We are everything to a ballerina and to anyone studying dance so to have a negative experience on your first set of pointe shoes is hard but coming here was the best decision we could have made. This store was referred to us by my daughters ballet teacher and we are so grateful we listened. From the phone call of making just the appointment for the pointe shoe fitting to actually coming into the store everything was so professional yet so warm and inviting. I bad with names but the woman who helped us was the owner's daughter and she was so incredible and knowledgeable and took all the time needed to really address my daughter's feet her needs and the shoes that would be a fit for her. My daughter tried on a plethora of shoes and from there they weaned out the ones that wouldn't work till they found the perfect pair for her at the stage that she's currently in. What I enjoyed most about this experience was how much education they gave us being new to this experience and it really helped us understand the process of pointe shoes and what we can expect in the future. She took notes on all my daughters needs so next time she comes in for the next pair whoever helps her knows where to start. If you are looking for pointe shoes or anything at all please do yourself a favor and come to the store you will not be sorry. read more

I always find what I need there, I am not sure why people are so eager to post negative things just because they are having a bad day. Every time I am looking for something I find it there, they are well stocked and helpful . read more

Always has everything and more than we need! We adore everyone who has helped us over the past couple of years go above and beyond in fitting with pointe shoes! Really we don't bother going anywhere else! Love love love Dance Threadz! read more

No one greeted us when we walked in though two ladies were present. One was helping a client so understandable, the other not busy so not excusable. We were looking around at least fifteen minutes and still no service. We continued to wait but when another pair of mother and daughter came in, the other sales lady immediately approached them, greeted them and inquired what they needed, we left. Detect prejudice since the two sales ladies were caucasion along with the mother and daught who came in after us. We are not caucasian. Unfortunate because we purposely drove an hour to support a small business over Discount Dance. read more

I took my daughter to Dance Threadz to get her first pair of pointe shoes, and we had an amazing experience! I had heard good things about the store and its expert pointe shoe fittings from other members of our dance studio, however we had never gone to the store before. Upon arrival, the employees assisted us right away and got my daughter situated with her fitting. Not to mention that the store is gorgeous! It is very clean and covid safe. The fitting was very in depth and we learned so much about pointe shoes! My daughter was so excited and the employees made sure she got the perfect shoe. She tried on a variety of brands and styles of pointe shoes, and she ended up with the perfect shoe for her foot. I am thoroughly impressed by Dance Threadz! read more

I just signed my 17-month-old daughter up for a dance class. I needed dance apparel within the next couple days, so I didn't have time to buy online. After reading the horrible reviews, I was worried going here, but didn't really have much choice. Fortunately, I had a great experience! The employee was extremely helpful, friendly, and patient with me and my squirmy little toddler. The prices were reasonable too. Only $14 for little ballet slippers and $30 for a leotard with attached skirt. I will definitely go back when she outgrows this outfit. read more

Dance Threadz - Great experience and super cute little outfit! - Dance Wear Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

This is the only place I take my 3 kids, when they need dance stuff. Everyone is super knowledge and kind. I've never had any type of issue.

I'm not sure how the other reviewers had such a bad experience...I never have! The workers are friendly, many of whom are dancers and really know what they are talking about. Every time I go in I'm helped right away. The owner is fantastic with fitting pointe shoes and i know that many studios, even from as far as Newport Beach, send their new pointe students there to be fit. The store is very supportive of local dance studios and teachers. Prices are reasonable and selection is respectable. The only reason I did not give Dance Threadz five stars is that the store is a little small and doesn't have every pointe shoe available, which is a trend with most dance stores (aside from the Discount Dance Supply warehouse...but who wants to drive that far...) I've been going here since I was a dancer many moons ago and will keep going there with my little ones. read more

My son waited until the last minute to pick up a few things for his APA audition. I had read some of the reviews and was a little hesitant to shop here. I was greeted immediately upon entry. I let her know my situation and she was very helpful. I needed jazz shoes and pants for my son and she not only advised me on these items but showed me options and how they can be modified. She also let me know about the return policy since my son wasn't with me. I wish I had gotten her name but it was the blonde girl who helped me. Thanks! read more

Adorable outfits that are surprisingly reasonably priced. I needed last-minute dance attire for my two and a half-year-old. I was surprised they had more than one to choose from. They have lots of options and most were in the $30 price range. I bought ballet shoes/slippers in toddler size for $14. The young lady working in the store that Monday morning was very helpful and sweet. I will be back! read more

Went here yesterday with my daughter to get some clothes for her ballet rehearsal. I don't know much about ballet and the staff was very helpful. They were patient and answered all my questions. They were polite to all the customers. It was such an easy experience. Christine at the counter was especially nice :) read more

Very helpful and patient staff. My child is a bit difficult with shoe shopping. They were able to get her to pick a shoe and be happy with it. Thank you! read more

I still haven't heard back from this store even though I left several messages for the manager to contact me. I ordered my shoes elsewhere in the meantime (Discount Dance Supply store in Santa Ana) and got my shoes in only two days, from smiling people whose noses weren't buried in their cell phones. I suggest everyone stay far away from this place...they will have no qualms about completely wasting your time without ever actually producing a product for you to buy. read more

This place has the best service ever! We walked in and right away the girl behind the counter greeted us. She helped my daughter pick out her First pair of toe shoes and she spent a good solid hour with us. I love all the selection of leotards and when you get on their email list they send you out discounts on tights... Oh boy do we go through those babies! read more
