I have been going to this shop off & on for years and never had a problem. The other day however…read morewhen I walked in, I felt profiled and was not greeted well. Since their relocation I've sensed a bit of desperation to sell the highest priced item. The dance shoes are not visible, rather they are in the back so you can't choose. You know like oh this is nice I will try this or what not. When I told them what I was looking for It seemed that they really pushed the higher priced item's on me without any options so I thought that was the deal. However non of the shoes they showed me fit, that is when they brought out other options that fit, cost way less and I liked them better. It felt sneaky! I will probably drive to Boulder or online for my dance needs in the future. It's a shame because this store is within walking distance.

This store brings back wonderful memories as it was the store where I got my very first pair of pointe shoes and now I get to share this store with my daughter whose passion for dance is as big as mine!

If you live in Colorado, and you have a serious ballet dancer, do not take them to the store…read more They're fitting was terrible. They fit my daughter with a shoe that was too wide, told her she looked great in it, and sent her on her way. She ended up with a broken toe because there was too much pressure on her toes. Once she was fitted with a new shoe from a different ballet store, we tried to return the unopened shoe and were told we could only have a store credit or a direct exchange. They would not refund it back to our card. Given that we never want to shop there again, we had no need for a store credit. I would highly encourage you to go to Assemble Dance instead.

The local shops to us (loveland and boulder) didn't have the pointe shoe brand or size that my daughter needed. alert alert! Especially since she waited until after her pointe shoes were "dead" to tell me. The one she needed were back ordered at both the local stores until mid march :( oy! the Loveland store did recommend this shop to me and said they had a pretty big warehouse in addition to their store so they may have what we needed. I called and asked if they had the needed shoe in stock. They did! I asked if they were able to ship. Yes! So away we went with the order! Got the order in 2 days was super fast! And in time before her next pointe class! Thank goodness! Very thankful! The gal who answered the phone was friendly and more than willing to help! The store itself is a little far to travel to for us, but if we are ever in a jam again in the future will definitely call back to see if we can get what we need here! Nice to be able to still support local and not a chain.

They have a very nice selection of leotards, tights, bobby pins, hair nets, shoes and pointe shoes. i see the review they mostly have russian pointes but that is not quite accurate. they have many other options than that. In todays visit we picked up a leotard. Carol went out of her way to order a leotard for my daughter and picked out a few others just in case. my daughter is tall and slender and she is difficult to fit. we also got fitted for some tap shoes while we were there as well. Carol genuinely cares and wants everyone to have a great shopping experience at her store. Everyone provides really wonderful customer service and they offer fair prices. We have been going to Encore since they opened and will definitely keep going back!

I understand they're all tried on, but when I expressed concern the owner snapped back about HER profitability. No response when I emailed them about this. They're selling the same pair on eBay for $39! To think they could have discounted the shoes for me due to excessive shop-worn condition upsets me. I only got $11 off, same as every single new customer, and wish I'd asked for a better pair or that THEY OFFERED. What a disappointing visit to this store and unfortunate customer service from the owner. We'll never buy from here again or recommend it.

They sold us an expensive pair of ballet shoes with one of them already broken. We should have checked them but we did not. The manager refused to exchange the broken one with a new one and believed her employee who did not check the shoes instead of her client. Why would we do that, really? Plus I purchased lots of items plus the point shoes. So we are very disappointed and this place has just lost a customer.
