We love having this dance shoppe in our backyard. Not only do they carry all the essentials a dancer could need, but they also deliver an exceptional guest experience--something that's hard to find these days. It's truly special to walk into a store where they know both you and your dancer by name. You instantly feel like family. Absolutely awesome.

Kindra P.

I was told AS LONG AS I HAVE THE TAG on the item I can return. I never wore it, and I wasn't dancing so it was sitting in my room. I eventually decided I wasn't going to use it. The sales manager told me after a year I cannot return the item purchased! That is NOT what was told to me when I bought it, and I specifically asked the same girl who works at the cash register. I am furious, I will not be shopping here ever again. They both said "no one has ever done that, with attitude, and they sometimes give some kind of courtesy after 30 days." But that should have been communicated to me, however long I have to decide. It has the tags, it is brand new. Your word should hold up, and you shouldn't be able to take it back your word whenever you feel like it. I would have went back sooner (before 30 days) to take it back if I knew HOW LONG I had. To top it off, they had an attitude that was nasty... I wasn't being rude, it is just you told me one thing, and then it is a flat out lie. She told me the 30 day policy is at the bottom of the receipt, as if I am going to check that. I finally check it today, and the 30 day policy is no where to be found!!! I don't want the leotard, but they won't take it back.

"Iliana" is the GOAT ! Promote her please? She was super patient and will be highly recommended

Ankle ginched even though toes fully pointed, foot is not fully extend inside the shoe. Shank breaks towards the lower quarter of foot.

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.

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!!!
