Even though we had the last appointment of the day, she made us feel like we were her only priority. Ashley took the time to ask detailed questions and really listen to my daughter until she found the perfect fit. We ended up choosing the Bloch Eurostretch, and my daughter absolutely loves them--she does not want to wear anything else! Thank you, Ashley, for the outstanding customer service and such a thoughtful experience.

Ashley's mother owned this store and fitted many ballerinas since the 80's and now, Ashley is…read morecarrying 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.

I do not want a candle with a store sticker on it, I want proper, quality dancewear. They carry some professional brands, but very little of it, and most of it looks like it's been sitting around a while. Honestly, a lot of their stock looks like off-brand stuff from Amazon. The sales girls seem sweet but are teenagers and I wouldn't trust them to properly fit a basic ballet shoe. Definitely don't buy pointe shoes here.

This little Dancer's shop is owned by Josephine's (Pointe Shop) mother, "Grace". Grace has owned…read morethis shop for over a decade or more; and through the years she has collected a large trove of several pointe shoes, leotards and all things you would need from the smallest of accessories to the newest designs! Hours of Operation is regularly 10am to 6pm daily (see website hours). It is a well-known and popular shop. Grace runs the shop solo and her assistant is there every other day. Please be patient, Grace understands each shoe is costly especially if they are Pointe shoes $125 and up, so she gives you the patience of "time to decide" versus being rushed. She will give you options based on if you have wide feet, narrow, or even a lower heel fit in the back to avoid scraping the skin off your heels. Ultimately, you leave having picked your first pointe/ballet/jazz/contemporary/character shoes comfortably. Customers can walk in and might have to wait longer, but there is so much to look for to pass time. There is no returns for dancers shoes and many items with any wear on them. Is it worth the wait? I think so. You drove out there and the options are endless from the floor to the ceiling. Many shoes that have run out in other dance places may still be here. Ask? If your shoe design is gone, Grace will give alternatives and honest feedback of similar shoes. Cost is the same as other Dance stores. Location is off the Aliso Creek Road exit and you'd turn into a small street called "Journey", it's in a small business nook. Business owner: Grace presents with a humble nature. She is experienced having been a ballet dancer herself and then understanding the needs of dancers. She is helpful in shoe fittings because she understands it is the fit that makes the difference. The customer also has to speak up their preferences so she can help identify what your personal preferences and fit are too! She carefully listens and guides you. We leave here feeling as if we have visited a family member who is so respectful, kind and gracious. Exceptional****** Grace always picks up her business phone unless she is helping a customer. We have bought 6 Pointe' shoes here for the Houston Summer Intensive of 5 weeks and we feel equipped! We just love and adore "Grace" at Dancers Choice. Thank you Grace!!!

My prior not 5 star review indicated a particular time where stock was low and that was indeed frustrating, however I haven't had that experience since then. Staff continues to be friendly and helpful. We will continue to shop here for all our daughters dance needs. ---- Local favorite spot for all your dance needs! I have been coming here for years, not only for my two kids but for my sister. Today we came to get my daughters all their dance gear for ballet and tap; leotards, tights, tap shoes and ballet shoes. The woman helping us was nice, not overly enthusiastic or wanting to more about us, but got the job done. Major bummer they did not have ANY tap shoes. Not one size even close to either of my daughters sizes. How can that be? Then their sister store in Simi Valley was ALSO out of stock of BOTH of my girls sizes. Say what?!So we had to drive 25 minutes into Canoga Park to my new favorite dance store. HUGE stock of all sizes and widths of MANY different shoes. Bummer since I love shopping locally.
