Had to share a recent experience! My daughter forgot her dance attire and we needed to make a last-minute purchase. I called the store just a few minutes before closing and asked if they could stay open for five extra minutes so we could grab what we needed. They were so kind and agreed without hesitation. I didn't catch the name of the person who helped us, but I'm incredibly grateful they answered the phone and stayed open for us. They had a great selection of dance wear and shoes. We'll definitely be back! read more

Walking into this store feels like stepping into a little world of magic. The space is soft, pink, welcoming -- and full of heart. 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. This shop has been part of our journey through recitals, growth spurts, new beginnings and it always feels like home. We value this place not just for what it sells, but for what it gives: comfort, kindness, joy, and community. read more

Scheduling an appointment with Susan was very easy and efficient. However, once I got to the store, I was fitted by Yara and unfortunately, she appeared to lack knowledge and poorly fitted me to my pointe shoes. She lacked expertise on how to properly find the right size. After I had gotten home and sewed on the elastics, the pointe shoes ended up being too small once I wore them with my gels resulting in cuts and blisters in my feet after one class on pointe. read more

I am a beginner adult taking dance classes for fun at Align Ballet Method. She made me feel very welcomed! Even though I was super nervous She has a fitting room where you can try on the leotards which really helped. I fell in love with a Mirella leotard in pink and left with some matching pink leg warmers as well as some shorts :) She has a nice selection from capezio, bloch, wearmoi etc I will be returning! read more

The customer service was fantastic, and the woman did try her best to help me. I can't emphasize enough how friendly and kind she was before I add the bad part. I needed character shoes for a play I'm doing, and asked for my size. She put me in a half size smaller, insisting that I was even a full size smaller than I thought I was. Unfortunately I just had the worst, most painful rehearsal of my life with my toes completely curled over and numb in these shoes; more than any relaxing or breaking in of the shoes will ever remedy. I've worn the same kind before, for decades, and NEVER have they felt this way, I now have to do everything in my power to stretch them out, due to their no return policy. Why, why, WHY did I let her convince me it would be okay? Because she was super kind and I assumed she knew what was best. I guess go with your gut folks. read more

Very sweet and answered all of our questions. We asked to try in a couple different pair of shoes and they were so friendly and didn't mind helping us at all. They took their time to make sure we were happy. read more

They've got what you need and great customer care - I had a list and they got it together for us to pick up quick and easy

Susan is the best, extremely nice and knowledgeable. A must for point shoes fitting! Great inventory.

Wonderful boutique with a large selection of dance shoes and beautiful dance wear for both children and adults. You can schedule your pointe shoe fitting & pick your appointment time online, which makes the process really easy. Time and care is taken to make sure of proper fit and they will see elastic/ribbons in for a fee so that you can go home with pointe shoes the same day. Some of our favorite leotards and dance wear is from Dancer's Barre. It is a special shop with a kind, knowledgeable owner - Susan and staff that do not pressure you into anything. There is a reason people drive from all over to get what they need from here. Bonus that is this a woman owned business! Shop small businesses!!!! read more

Same as Ballerina Dancewear store in Burbank. So weird they don't accept returns or exchanges. All sales are final. So don't go to these stores if you're unsure of your shoe sizes and how they fit especially if you have yet to try it out during class. Also offered to stitch up my shoes and didn't let me know it's additional $20. ? read more

Amazing service and everything a dancer needs is located at Dancers Barre! They will even sew ribbons on pointe shoes for a nominal fee- amazing location surrounded by amazing restaurants and shops. read more

Super Cute! I was literally in and out so this review won't be as lengthy for you all! I needed fishnets for an audition and didn't feel like traveling far to another studio to grab some good ones so I decided to give Dancers Barre a try. First, I called to make sure they had the fishnets I needed (full fishnet tights, not thigh highs), and I got great customer service. I ended up going to where I thought was the location but they had actually moved to another area in Sherman Oaks so make sure you check the address because they did move from Riverside Blvd. The location: Dancers Barre is located on Ventura Blvd literally at Woodman Ave. next door to the cleaners and the UPS store. There is metered parking in front but I am not sure about customer parking in the back. I found it very easy to find parking in the meter. The store is super cute. It's feels like a nice dance boutique store. The owner had music playing and the store was nice and clean. Selection: I only needed fishnets at the time of my first shopping experience but even with fishnets, she had tons of options for me to choose from which I appreciated. Customer Service: The owner helped me and she was very friendly and helpful. I didn't get a snooty vibe at all from her and she really made me feel welcome at her store. Mention Yelp! Make sure you mention yelp when you get there and get 10 percent off! Overall, I really like this store and I love the location. I think i have finally found a nice dance wear shop that is close to me! I hope this review helps you decide on where to go for your dance wear needs in the Sherman Oaks/Studio City area! :) read more

I initially went in for a pair of tights for my daughter, but was blown away by the wonderful selection of dance wear as well as stellar customer service! I'll be back! Great find! read more

I came into store just now and was inquiring about what appeared to be a shirt to me. I asked the saleswoman about it and referred to it as a shirt. She then said in a bad/somewhat negative tone "it's a leotard". Ok, whatever. I don't think she needs to emphasize that and if so, one could use a warmer tone. I was instantly turned off. Her tone with me, made me conclude that I'd never give her my business. I then asked if she was the owner. Surprisingly she said yes. Too bad for her. I've been in customer service and she was . I'll never step foot in the store again. She's cold. I was surprised to find out she was Armenian. I have come in contact with many Armenians and they are typically very warm people. read more

Beautiful store with a little bit of everything. I went in to get adult ballet shoes for my LAVC class and the women there helped me find exactly what I needed. Will definitely make this my go to dance supply store. read more

I will preface this by saying I am a professional dancer and dance teacher, so I am very particular about the quality of dancewear for myself, my kids and my students. This place is AWESOME!!!! The selection is great, and the owner Susan, is SO helpful to ALL customers. I am not one to speak negatively but, I have shopped at another dancewear store in the Valley, and witnessed not so warm customer service to the point that I wanted to leave, but couldn't because it was the only local place for good dancewear. I am SO grateful that Dancers Barre is here- as I feel so much better bringing my business here! Susan is lovely to every single customer that comes in. She made my toddler feel like a prima ballerina (and you know how fickle toddlers can be!) and put me at total ease when my kiddo wanted to touch everything and I was feeling self consciousness. One might say the dancewear is pricey, but actually, considering it is professional dancewear, the prices are actually good. She also carries LaDucas, which are the go-tos for Broadway :) (Laducas are the only reason my feet survived 8 shows a week for 5 years! ) Her store is beautiful, her product is beautiful, and MOST IMPORTANTLY: her demeanor is beautiful!!!! I have found my new home for dancewear for my family- and I send all of my students here. I encourage you to do the same!!!! read more

Dancers Barre Dancewear - Dance Wear Near Me - Studio City, California

Absolutely love this place. My daughter is a student at LA Ballet Academy. She's been going there for 3 years. Like many kids, she grows like a weed. The studio recommends Dancers Barre for shoes and attire. I've shopped with them several times and have always had a great experience. It's a quaint little store with awesome inventory and friendly personable staff. If you're looking for dance shoes for your little one (or yourself) check out this place. Susan and her staff are fantastic. It's my go to shop for dance shoes and beyond! read more

Great service, super clean and well organized store! I came here for LaDucas, this is the only store in Southern California that sells them. When they didn't have my size, the store called LaDuca for me and got me the last pair they had on available in my size! I highly suggest coming to get your LaDucas here. The staff is knowledgeable and can help you figure out exactly what you need! I will definitely recommend this store to friends! read more

I am so disappointed in this store. I went here to get my daughter fitted for her first tap shoes. When the woman at the store fitted her they seemed really tight. It was voiced by me at the moment of trying them on. She then said once she has her tights on they will slip right on. First day of class.. not the case. I tried to explain to them the situation.. and coldly she voiced that they do not have any returns or exchanges. I can't believe this because I trusted they know what they are doing with fitting shoes. Apparently not. Please don't go here to get fitted. This was my mistake because there are so many other dance stores that know what they are doing. read more

We needed character shoes on a moments notice. I called to check inventory (about 5 minutes before closing), and it was no problem for them to check. We came to the store the next day; a really lovely store, and we were helped right away. The shoes were a great fit and a very good price. It was so nice and easy. read more

Didn't have leg warmers my size. But I love the service I get there. The owner is super sweet and makes me feel welcomed!

Now i see why people post bad reviews. Worst place ever!! Bought shoes for 75$ that didnt have the buckle (later found it outside the box just in the bag) and could't even manage to survive a 45 min class because the Buckle broke!! Later after coming to the store she told me they are gonna work towards this problem but guess what absolutely no news for more than a week. read more

Amazing customer service and surprisingly large inventory for such a small store and if she doesn't have it, she will order it for you. Specifically, she carries leotards, undergarments, tights and shoes to match many different skin tones. For this reason alone I will always patronize this local business, because dancers come in many shades! read more

Excellent store! The staff members were very kind and she was very patient with the pointe shoe fitting. The price is good too!

I will NEVER shop there again. I bought $400 worth of merchandise for myself and my daughter. The sales girl said i could return regular and sale priced items. And extended the return period beyond the normal 10 days because we were going abroad for a few weeks. She even wrote it on my receipt and initialed it. When i tried returning brand new items with tags, the owner got really upset. She refused to return any items. She said that the salesgirl did not have permission to do so. She asked me why i didnt ask the salegirl if she had the owner's consent. As if it's my responsibility to do so!?!? Insulted me repeatedly infront of another customer. And threatened to call the police!!! I was beside myself. I left embarrassed and so upset. I would have never purchased 15 items without the full refund policy. I have a video of this too read more

Yariliz is so kind, knowledgeable and helpful. She had my young daughters fitted in no time. The shop is beautiful and well stocked. Will be back! read more

We needed character shoes for my college-age kid with very small feet. They had several in stock. I also bought basic ballet shoes for me. Susan customized the elastic on mine for a small fee. We used to shop at Karabel in Burbank before the owner retired and are very happy to have found Dancers Barre! read more

Horrible customer service! When I went into the store with my 2 year old daughter today, I couldn't even tell they were open. Nobody acknowledged our presence or offered to assist us. I noticed people inside of the shoe room and waited for the saleswoman to walk out. Once I flagged her down and asked my question, she walked away and I assumed she had gone to get the shoes we were looking for, but she never returned. I decided to follow her into the shoe room, but then she walked out without saying a word. After I explained to her that I was leaving because I was disappointed with the customer service, she smuggly waived me off and said "have a nice day". read more

Loved the place. The lady who was helping me was very nice and helped me to pick the proper size for my LO. Would definitely come back read more

Dancers Barre Dancewear - Dance Wear Near Me - Studio City, California

Yes! Wonderful customer service. Immaculate shop with adorable dance offerings for kids and adults.

I love this little boutique! They have a great selection of gorgeous leotards in many different styles and colors. They also have dance skirts and wrap skirts in a variety of colors, prints, and styles. Some flashy costumes as well. There's a kids' section and adults' section. They also have dance shoes, pointe shoes, etc. I love it! The lady running the store (sorry, didn't catch her name) was so kind and helpful. I don't go to the Valley often but next time I go, I'll be excited to visit Dancers Barre again! read more

Purchased a pair of pointe shoes. The lady there was very knowledgeable and patiently fitted me for the best pair. They even have a barre in the fitting room so you can really test out the wear. Got a lot of good advice and information The shoes were ready to be picked up the next day w/ the ribbons sewn. Thank you! read more

The owner and staff definitely need to work on customer service. I spent $200, bought what I needed and never coming back again. I am all about supporting small businesses even if I overpay (double the amount that's advertised online) but when the owner and staff are rude, then there is absolutely no need to go back when it's not appreciated. I live in the area now and would have made this store to buy all my kid's dance wears but will need to find elsewhere next year. read more

Favorite Dance store!!! I love their Alo selection and they're the only ones out here to carry LaDucas! Susan is the best!

The owner is a piece of work. She begin screaming at my friend in front of my 3 year old daughter. Suzie kept stating she was the owner. But this doesn't give her the right to be rude and condescending to anyone. The outfit which was a gift, is still new and unworn. The tag was only missing because my 3 year whom the gift was for ripped the tag off immediately before we a chance to try it on her. "Susan" customer service skills are below the "barre." Shopping here was a terrifying experience for my 3 year old, myself and my friend. Never coming here again, what a nightmare. read more

My daughter is 3 years old and she wants to be a ballet dancer. Dancers Barre is the best place for little dancers. They carry all the sizes, colors, styles. read more

I have come here before and spent a lot of money for dance clothes for my dance class at Millikan Middle School. This year, They helped me find and fit on what I thought was the perfect shoe. In the car on the way home, I was admiring my shoes and realized that the inside sole was crumbling and falling apart. The yellow powder from the shoe was falling in chunks and yellow dust was all over me. The foam was breaking off and had turned to powder. This was the only one left, but it turned out to be the floor sample which has been handled many times. I thought I was getting a brand new pair from the back. I would have appreciated if they had let me know that it had been the sample shoe and was falling apart. read more

Amazing!! 100% recommend! Amazing for first pair. The manager knows what she's doing. Amazing. First pair you should go here. For sure coming back! read more

This store is wonderful. I bought a pair of LaDucas here a month ago and Susan helped me with all my questions when I bought them. My first day wearing them I noticed the floor of the box of the shoe was loose (from the manufacturer, not a problem with the store) so I called Susan to ask what to do. She was efficient and understanding in getting me the help I needed to get my new shoes fixed. A wonderful person to be in communication with! I highly recommend stopping here next time you need dance items. read more

I totally agree with the first review! The quality is great and The owner Susan is so helpful and has so much knowledge about fitting shoes. And the best part, for a nominal fee, she will sew ballet straps and pointe shoe ribbons on. read more
