She also advised on additional ballet essentials. We purchased ballet shoes, a leotard, and tights. Now, hopefully my kid will like ballet.

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!!!

There is no sign anywhere in the store that states looking at Amazon or online is not allowed. At no point were we ever rude to him. .

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.
