I'm choreographing a musical and realized my character shoes from 2008 are a little dicey now (the…read moreheel literally fell off lol). I don't necessarily need character shoes, but I do want to get some sort of cute shoe that I can teach in and are a little more robust than my ballet shoes. I used to have various lyrical jazz shoes way back in the day (1996 haha), so after looking to see what kind of shoes they still make, I found some that Allegro carries. Better yet, the two shoes I wanted to try they had on clearance (I guess they may be discontinuing them?) for a bargain on their website. They only had shoes in what I thought would be way too small, but I figured I'd give it a try. I went yesterday (almost exactly 2 years to the day since the last time I was here), and it was a great experience yet again. The sales associate was super nice and brought out both shoes, and surprisingly they were only about a half size too small. But, for $10 for the cheaper pair, I figured it's good enough and maybe they'll stretch a little as I wear them. I can make any shoe fit if I'm motivated enough. I also impulse purchased the cute hoodie that I mentioned in my review back from September 2023 (see photo from that review). I saw that they still have it and so I couldn't pass it up this time. They were quite busy when I was there (about 3pm on a Thursday), so it's great to see them thriving.

Extremely disappointing experience. We attended a scheduled pointe shoe fitting and were sold the…read morewrong size shoes (size 5 for a size 9 dancer). We trusted the professional fitting, only to find out at home that the shoes didn't fit at all. When the mistake was brought to their attention, the store refused to exchange or refund because one shoe had been sewn--even though the sizing error was theirs. Offering a $15 credit instead was insulting. Poor service and zero accountability. Do not recommend.

I was in Andersonville for a meal (did you say Big Jones?). Located on the 2nd floor, I was scared to walk around because the floors were creaking. I was welcomed by an employee who was very helpful and helped us to pick out a leotard, stockings, and ballet shoes for my toddler. She was a dancer herself and was able to pick out things that would be best for my baby. I went in to buy one leotard and shoes but I ended up walking out with 2 leotards, a skirt, stockings and shoes. I wasn't scammed but or anything. They had great sales and I also wanted to pick out dresses of different color so it was perfect. I definitely recommend this place.

To be honest, when I was seeking places online for my son's dance needs, even though Chicago Dance…read moreSupply was the first one to pop up, I tried to find other places to go. It was just a little too far from my house. But ultimately, I made the trek. When I arrived at the front door, I wasn't sure I was in the right place. Is there a store at the top of the narrow staircase? Sure enough, this unique set-up on the second floor felt warm and humble and authentic. I was on a tight budget and had to purchase several items but upon communicating that to Mike, the sales person, sprung into action to find me the most affordable ways to complete my goals. He was not only helpful, but charming and genuinely kind. He engaged my young one and conversed fluidly and I wasn't the only one to experience this-- he was just as courteous to the family that walked in after me. Guys, it's been so long since I've had genuine kind customer service without the saccharine manufactured sales pitches, I've forgotten what it should look like. It should look like Mike. He told me my items should last my kid for a long time, but I know where I'll be going should the need arise.

They are from a few years earlier and I am almost always willing to give a business a shot as some yelpers are a little dramatic in their reviews. To start- I called earlier in the day to inquire about ballet flats for my daughter to see if they even had what I needed. This is her first dance experience and I wanted to make sure she had proper shoes to go along with. The woman on the phone was very nice and very informative. She also gave me a couple pricing options to fit either budget I might have a had and that was appreciated as not everyone has the same budget for these things. On the other hand I was very much open to spending more if necessary on this trip because I know that having the proper shoes is beyond necessary in any sport. When we arrived we were greeted by both employees working and they even joked with us about the "great weather" we were having (it was a downpour). I told the woman what we were there for and she personally helped my daughter put on her shoes and explained which shoe would be best for her foot. We spent around $20 for her ballet flats and my daughter just loved them. I am confused by others that are upset about their pricing as this is a boutique/specialty store and expecting to find the same pricing as Walmart or online. What you will find is a plethora of quality products that are made to last as well as being a brick-and-mortar location that is able to personally help you find what you are looking for and you have it in your hand that day. They have knowledge to share about their products and what is best for a dancer. We will come back in the future to get a few more leotards for my daughter. This is a great store- you get what you pay for.
