Madi has worked with multiple instructors and we appreciate each and every one of them. They each have unique way of working with the dancers and they are passionate about what they do. They are all incredibly talented including The competition teams. They offer summer and spring camps. They also offer weeks to tryout multiple styles of dance and get an opportunity to see what your kid likes! We have done Hip Hop and are currently in Acro Techniques and Musical Theatre.

As soon as I mentioned my daughter attends Bayer for ballet, the person on the phone told me "Oh we have the shoe in stock in all sizes," without even needing to have me ask if she had the style. The lady who helped us was friendly and helped us try on a few sizes so we could get a good fit. We were in and out of there in fifteen minutes. I saw they also sell leotards, pointe shoes and more; I'm sure we'll be back for our other ballet shoe needs.

I've walked by this Capezio store multiple times without even realizing it is there. But it was there in my hour of need! Speaking of hours, their hours are a little bit tough to work with I believe 10 AM to 6 PM. I did stop by a few times at 10 AM and no one was around yet, but they definitely are open in the afternoons. The inside has way more merchandise than the small exterior hint at. And the owner definitely knows his dance shoes. He measured my feet and brought it out several options for me to try. All told, it only took me 10 minutes to get a new pair of ballet slippers, which I have been loving so far. Prices are slightly higher than what you would find online, but the service and immediacy of getting your shoes and the option to try on different styles and sizes makes up for the slightly higher prices.
