I went the initial visit to buy some dance wear and the sales girl had an incredible amount of patience for me when I wanted to try on a ton of different items in different sizes and assisted me in finding whatever I needed. I went back recently to look for a new pair of dance shoes and, Mike, the sales guy was also super helpful, having a great amount of knowledge in the area and providing recommendations. I was able to get what I needed. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

It's a DANCE STORE for kids but also sells FEMALE CLOTHING…read moremostly made in Canada. Price range is from 20 to a hundred for female clothing but many times they have sale for 10-15 bucks and sell dresses that were previously a $120.

I had an excellent experience here for pointe shoes. For my first pair, I went to another store and…read moreended up with a really awful fit: too wide, bad quality company etc. I decided to try out the Danceshoppe because they carry many brands like Bloch and Russian Pointe. You don't have to make an appointment, which is nice. I ended up with a pair of Bloch Amelie and I am so happy with them compared to my first pair. They were the first shoe the fitter chose. She allowed me to try on numerous other pairs and was very helpful while I talked it out. They really are so much better than my first pair where I was sinking and unable to really "get over the box". Now I can easily get over the box and they look stunning! Also, if you are not into sewing your ribbons and elastics they offer the service for a reasonable price.

THE place to buy pointe shoes in the GTA. I bought my first pair of pointe shoes here. They have a…read morewide selection of brands (repetto, bloch, capezio, grishko, chacott, freed, sansha etc.) and very knowledgeable and patient staff. If they don't have the shoes you want, they can do special orders as well. They keep a record of your purchases in the computer so you can keep track of which styles you liked or didn't like and what size you are in different brands. Danceshoppe also carries anything else you need for dance class - soft shoes (ballet/jazz/ballroom), beautiful Mirella leotards, warm-ups, accessories, dance bags, and DVDs/CDs/books/magazines. A bit out of the way (Sheppard, west of Yonge) but worth it.

He was exactly what you would want in a stylist- friendly and accommodating without being the least bit pushy. Let me emphasize my word choice there- he came across as a stylist and not just a sales associate looking to close a sale or upsell you on accessories. It was also my first day in Toronto and so he kindly gave a bunch of local recommendations for good eats! As far as the actual clothing selection, there were so many other cute items that I would've bought if I had the space in my luggage! They had outfits across the spectrum, ranging from casual everyday wear to more fancy/formal wear. It was also mostly organized by color which was helpful. If you have an event coming up or are just looking for a new outfit, this is a great spot!

The women who work there are very helpful and make you feel at ease. A lot of variety in styles and sizes. Each change room is large and private. Once you are measured they will provide you with bras to try on and give you tips on fit. Yes, it is expensive, but it is custom, and you don't have to sort through boxes trying to find something for yourself! The quality is beautiful. You truly get what you pay for (customer service and product quality).

They have super cute vintage dresses that I was particular taken with and still love to look at (even though during covid my preferred outfit is sweats). I got so many compliments on dresses I bought from that store, whether I wore their stuff socially or at work. Actually it kind of made me feel like I was one of those glamorous women in Mad Men. I'll always have a soft spot for this place - highly recommend if you're into vintage, pretty dresses. Most of that part of Queen Street has great vintage finds.

The storefront says, "Buy Fresh, Buy Local." But in reality, it should be "Buy Local? Buy Fresh."…read more The Collective (note not co-op) is a wonderful little haven of handmade crafts and goods. There were more adorable earrings, purses, and clothes than I could fathom. My friend and I wandered the store for nearly an hour alternately exclaiming, "cute!" with mouth agape or chatting up the staff. As Erin H mentions, each showcased artist/designer works onsite once a week. The only downside to this is if inquiring minds have questions about something other than the artist du jour personally made, there won't be any answers. And as a person with some hard core metal allergies, I won't buy jewelry unless I am certain that it doesn't contain anything that will make my earlobes swell. However, I was lucky to encounter the artist who crafted the earrings that fell in love with and so, got to take them home with me (and support the local arts). Plus, I was able to be a helper that day (I love being of assistance). As the resident artist handed me a credit card receipt, I was able to pass along this little tip: legal colors only please! I passed on the pink pen handed to me and instead signed with a my own, handy blue plume. For, although I wasn't planning on contesting the charges, anyone could attempt to do so and without either a customer's blue or black ink signature on file, the store might end up "out" some fundage.
