    WOULD NOT RECOMMEND I bought a pair of light up shoes from there and they won't charge n they won't refund me or anything I have to go on a website pleaser.com to get a new pair. It's a SCAM! How can you sell someone a broken product n do nothing about it .

    I had to buy character shoes and came here…read more As others mentioned, it's beneficial to have several brands sold here (including Bloch and Capezio etc.). The prices are very fair and they even had some shoes on clearance. Character shoes seemed to range from $40-$80. I received very friendly customer service and I was appreciative of the help and advice. One thing I really liked is that they did not try to rush me or force me to choose quickly. They also did not try to push me into buying the more expensive option. Instead, they offered to put shoes on hold for me so that I could think about it and come back if I needed to since I was in between two styles. Another thing I liked is that they had a wood floor inserted into the room with a ballet barre so that people can properly get the feel of a shoe on a dance floor. They also have a bathroom which is always nice. Overall, I highly recommend this dance store! It is so refreshing to find a good one with friendly employees, fair prices, and a wide selection.

    Let me preface: I live in NYC. Meh service from bitter wishfuls mad at their day job is standard…read more But shopping at OnStage is misery making. The staff is terrible. An even mildly experienced dancer will be aghast at their lack of knowledge for pointe shoe fitting. I've even seen the staff breaking shoes during pointe shoe fittings and have tried on shoes that have obviously been pre-broken. WTH is going on here?!? Every time I forget how terrible this place is and need something, I walk out with regret and a newfound resolution to not return.

    For some reason, I had a heck of a time trying to find this place but once I walked in, I felt an…read moreoverwhelming sense of nostalgia. A friend has a daughter who is into tap, and shoes by Jason Samuels Smith are sold exclusively through Bloch so I was looking forward to seeing what they had in-store, in addition to some items for myself. Even though I walked into a rather busy shop, I was greeted by a sweet girl right away, and she brought out shoes and some pants I was interested in. There is only one fitting room so there will be a wait if there are more than a few people looking to try on dance/activewear. What fascinated me was watching someone get fitted for pointe shoes, and this took me back so long ago even though I was fitted at a different brand. A cool customer nearby gave me her opinion on the sizing of some pants I was hesitating to try (she teaches over at Alvin Ailey, so I'm taking her word for it) and then she was called over to assist with the fitting. Everyone here seemed to know one another and it made me think of how small the dance world really is. Sadly after trying on the shoes and pants, neither worked but I know I can order the pants online in the size and color I desired. As for the tap shoes, they had the basics (my favorite being the classic black and white oxfords) but the current seasonal color was...yellow. The daughter gave a definite no to those, so my work here was done. Even though I left empty-handed, it was great going down memory lane here at Bloch.

    I came here for a pointe shoe fitting and the person who fit me, Lauren (I think) was wonderful,…read moreextremely knowledgeable, and super helpful in helping me find the right fitting shoe. Would definitely come back.
