Please shop here! It's a gem and Maria is so wonderful. She answers the phone when you call. Her inventory is specialized to cater to the new dancers. I have been shopping around for a dance studio for my 3yo daughter. They have dress codes. I didn't have dance tights, ballet shoes, tap shoes, or a leotard. So I called Maria. She answered and I came in and she not only had everything but she also had SUPER cute and durable things. Her inventory is lovely and her service is excellent. Shop local. Support local businesses. Try calling Dancewear first. Maria is great! read more

Expressly Motion Dancewear - Shoe Stores Near Me - Torrance, California

Small shop but boy does the owner know her stuff. Was looking for shoes for my new West Coast swing class and was unsure what to do really didn't wanna wear the heels. She pulled out some dance sneakers and we walk through my which one was best, and when I walked in my class later I felt confident and more importantly my feet didn't hurt. Unfortunately you need to bring cash or pay by Venmo. But Support a local business that's how they stay around read more

Great little store to find dance clothes and shoes! The store owner was very knowledgeable and sweet.

The only dance store left in the South Bay - this store provides an important service by allowing shoppers to actually feel and see what they want to buy (as opposed to playing Amazon roulette). I only wish they were open a little more often. read more

Small local store worth supporting. Somewhat smaller selection (as expected in a small very specialized store) but excellent quality dance gear. Great individualized service to make sure you get the right dance shoes or attire. Shorter hours but conveniently located and easy parking. read more

Came to buy my daughter tap shoes, I was unsure of what size as she is in between two sizes and Maria helped me make the best selection. She knew EXACTLY what would be best for my toddler. As one of the last few dance wear stores in the South Bay, I hope this review inspires more moms and dads to shop small rather than purchase on Amazon. read more

Maria is a life saver!! I called on a whim, hoping they had a long maxi style skirt for my daughters dance class, and she had it. Wish I took pictures, but this place looks to have all types of dance clothing needs. read more

Beautiful clothes and dance wear! Please support this business! It's such a great dance store and only one in the South Bay. I love it here.

Maria is so helpful and her store has awesome options! Please let's help support our local shops, I get all my daughters dance stuff here!!

Went into Expressly Motion to purchase new tap shoes for my son. Is hidden away, but well worth looking for. Met the owner, Maria Parsons, and we're so glad that we did. She discussed the problem we were having with our shoes and searched for a screw that would fit the problem with the shoes we brought in. We ultimately decided to purchase a new pair, so she disappeared into the back until she found the right pair. We did need to order them, and that took a few minutes, but it was time well spent. We even brought the screw home that she found for us so we could repair the old ones). This may be one of the last hands-on shops for our kids who love to dance. Highly recommend you stop by if you need dance shoes or dance clothing of any kind. read more

I called inquiring if the store carried navy blue dance shorts as my daughter needed some asap for the next day for Cheer for the first game of the season! It was towards the end of the day and I spoke with the store owner, nicest person ever, and she let me know she had some in storage... but we needed them for the next morning. She calls me back and has me pick them up after hours! I mean, why?? Simply because she knew we needed them. I can't thank her enough for her going out of her way to do this for us. She is the best! Expressly Motion dancewear is the best! read more

Great store with tons of dance product! Worth the trip to Torrance! Ballet, tap, leotards and more!!

Love this dance store! Maria the owner has been in business for decades and really knows what her customers want. She cares about the quality of the products she carries and will go the extra mile for her customers. Highly recommend read more

My daughter needed character shoes. Did not want to try and buy online and go through the hassle of purchasing and returning to find the right size. Called and Maria was very helpful she let me know she had multiple options that would work. Be sure to call as she is currently located in a different spot. But so accommodating and helpful we were able to get exactly what we needed and a few extras. Impressed by her inventory. read more

Nice hidden place. Needed dancewear last minute near the holidays and this place was open. She has a lot of options and a lot of sizes to choose from. read more

Such a great variety of dance products for girls starting at 3 years old! Don't let the location fool you, the prices are very convenient and low! I bought my 3 year old several leotards, tights and ballet slippers and came out under $100! I was previously shopping at target for ballet items but they didn't have anything. I definitely recommend this place for a starting toddler to an experienced girl. The lady helping us was very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

We love this place! So convenient, good parking, awesome selection, and the woman who works there is so kind, patient, and helpful. We needed good jazz shoes and ordered two pairs online that didn't fit, which led us to Expressly Motion. We walked out with shoes that fit, two new leotards, jazz shorts, and a precious (and functional) dance bag. I'm happy a small business like this still exists in my neighborhood! read more

Expressly Motion is my favorite dance wear store. I get one-on-one help, great advice from the owner and the older sales lady in the Redondo Beach store. One time I bought shoes that turned out to be too big, they took them back, no questions asked, And helped me find the right size. Not all manufacturers styles run the same. If they are out of something I liked, or need right now, they take my name, and my phone number, I get a call. Does Amazon do that for you? read more

Great variety, our favorite dance brands and sweet sales girl. Prices are way high. I've never spent over 30$ on bloch dance shoes for my kids. They were $53 here. On amazon the same shoe is 29-44 at most. Not sure why the mark up is so outrageous. read more

Good clothes however service is TERRIBLE and prices are not great. Never come back again!!

Since 2010, my girls & I have relied on Expressly Motion for most of our ballet & Cotillion needs. We go to the new, HUGE Madison location in Torrance. Sadly, it's not visible from the street. But, it has plenty of free parking. At each visit, Maria (the owner) and/or her staff members greet us warmly, remember our names & our preferences, and are quite personable and helpful. The store maintains -- among other things -- a stunning stock of black leotards in many styles and sizes. I've never seen so many options at a brick-and-mortar store: not at Alva's; not at Discount Dance; not at Activity Pointe. The staff helps us find the styles we need, in the sizes we need. They gladly make special orders, etc. Unfortunately, Expressly Motion doesn't sell pointe shoes. For girls who are in Cotillion (or are Disney tour guides, or are on their feet for many hours each day), Expressly Motion has gorgeous, fancy, COMFORTABLE shoes. PLEASE NOTE: online sellers are killing mom-and-pop retailers like Expressly Motion. read more

My boyfriend and I are taking a beginning tap dancing class for the summer, so of course we need tap dancing shoes. I found this place on Yelp and called to confirm they sold adult tap shoes. It's a bit hard to find, but once you walk in it's very cool. They sell different style dance shoes, leotards, hair ties and anything else dance related. The owner was helping a mom and her daughter and asked if we needed help. We told her what we were looking for, she asked us our shoe sizes and brought out the shoes. Mine fit perfect, my boyfriend had to get a different size. She was friendly and super excited for us to be taking tap dance classes. There's also a studio where they have voice lessons! The shoes were only $40 and now we're ready for our class! read more

Good service, friendly and helpful. They have a wide selection of dance shoes and great sales on activewear. I recommend this store to all of my students. Only problem is that it might be a little hard to find, just make sure you google map the location, also as a guiding point; there's a nail salon "Kathy's Nails" near the driveway entrance that leads to Expressly. read more

No good. No greeting what so ever. I bet they sell one item by the end if the week if they are lucky! read more

Expressly Motion Dancewear - Shoe Stores Near Me - Torrance, California

Maria, the owner, is knowledgeable and patient. I was horrified that this place is listed as PRICEY - all dance wear and shoes are PRICEY. The staff works incredibly hard to keep costs down and gives discounts to local schools. I have been shopping here for myself, my dance teams/show choirs, and now for my daughter. read more

I recently became a "Dance Mom" and still figuring it all out. The owner here is super knowledgeable and I'm so grateful for her help. I honestly didn't know the difference between a lyrical or jazz shoe. With her help, my daughter always finds what she needs and more. =) I think they offer a loyalty program as well, which is a bonus since dance is such an expensive sport. It's kind of in a weird location, which might be why it's never really too busy there. I definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Always great customer service and a big selection of sizes and styles. I'm so happy to have a local dance wear store. I hate having to order everything online without trying it on. It's also nice to support a small business that treats its customers well. read more

Very Nice store, I went in one day on my lunch break, and the lady greeted me as soon as I came in the door. I didn't see her, but I heard her. I explained that I was not looking to buy that day, but to get an idea of what I would need. She was very helpful, came out and assisted me in looking through the skirts, which was my main concern. We did find several that I was interested in. I am actually planning to go back and buy something today. Cheryl D read more

I visited for the first time today to purchase ballet shoes for my 3 year old daughter. There were others in the store and only one employee working. I am very new to the dance wear world, but I was very impressed that ballet shoes are available in toddler sizes. $18.99 which ended up to be just under $21 after tax. I feel that I won either way because they seem like good quality shoes, compared to Payless ballet shoes ($19.99 before tax), and being blessed to have a friend whose daughter is a year older who gave us all the tutus and leotards we needed for the year! So besides paying for the class, this is my only purchase I had to make since she started dance class! The service was good, the employee was able to assist us all and provide us with the answers to our questions! And we received a frequent buyer stamp card to earn $20 off once it is filled! We will be back...... After we shop around in our friend's daughter's closet where the prices cannot be beat!!! :o) read more

I LOVE this store. The lady who owns this store is incredible, she is so kind and so is one of her star workers, Lauren. He people in here are always happy to help and know their stuff. They have a great supply and are happy to do what they are doing. I cannot rave enough about how much I love this place. Thank you guys so much! read more

First time at this dance apparel store. I have no comment about the stock but about the service. Upon arrival the female clerk was helping a customer so I stood in line waiting. There was another employee, a young man who looked quite bizarre, standing behind the counter. He totally ignored me, picked up a small dog, and proceeded to flounce around the room with the dog. When the female clerk asked him to help me locate a leotard, he told her he had to take care of the dog. Really? read more

Great prices and lots of selections! We paid $20 for a pair of Bloch Ballet shoes. The tights were a fair price but the leotards seemed pricey. Glad that she's in Torrance. I'll be back. read more

Every time me and my girls go here, we are treated well; the staff is very nice and always apologizes for any delays in service when they are busy. I am very happy with all the dance wear and accessories I have purchased there too. We keep coming back. It's a great place to have so accessible to us. read more

Been here twice to get ballet gear for my little girl. Each time, the service was friendly and kind. As a ballerina novice, I had no idea what I needed for my little girl. The staff (I'm guessing the owner) at the store put me at ease and helped get me everything in no time flat. At one point, I asked if this particular leotard would fit my girl. It looked like it would fit with the naked eye. The owner took one look and told me I should get a smaller size and proceeded to find the correct one for my daughter. Thank goodness, because who wants a saggy ballerina? :) All the other dance gear in the shop inspired me to want to take lessons. Ballroom? Tap? Jazz? I'm definitely going back. read more

Best customer service. Great selection. A bit hard to find. I wish I took a picture of the little portable sign by the street. More later I hope read more

Nice selection. There was only 1 person working the floor, but she was able to help me as another customer was trying shoes with no problem. I was looking for something a little less expensive for my 4 year old, but the quality of the items offered does the prices justice. read more

They lady who helped us was so sweet and had everything to suggest for my 3 year old daughter. Everything seems reasonably priced! They had so many options to choose from and it was hard to walk away with only 1 outfit. I am actually on my way back there today to get more things for my daughter!! read more
