Years ago, I purchased my tan character shoes from Kinney Dancewear for show choir. Since then, they've moved north to 146th Street to this spacious location. I've been taking adult tap classes at Dance Fam in Carmel (check them out!) and wanted to make it official with my own pair of tap shoes. I visited on a weekday, and Elizabeth greeted me and helped fit me for a pair of tap shoes. She walked me through the best options and explained the differences between the shoes I was trying on. I went with the most beginner pair and have loved using them in class! read more

Where do you go in all of Indianapolis to get dancewear? Here's the place. Keep in mind I know almost absolutely nothing about dance or dancewear but my daughter is in her third year of competitive dance. There are very specific items you will need and this is going to be your go to place. The main must have item are a variety of shoes. Tap, they have them, ballet yes multiple kinds, jazz, and a new one I didn't know existed turning shoes. Well my daughter said she needed some so in we stopped. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and helped get the exact right fit. You can't just buy most of these shoes without trying them on as they have to fit perfectly. The store is very well merchandised with almost any items your aspiring dancer would need. They also have most colors and different dance and practice outfits. We got out shoes we needed on this visit and I am sure we will be back when some of our existing shoes wear out or if we need a different kind in the future. read more

See all

Well, I've never been to a dance store before. My body type doesn't fit with the lithe, slender dance type. However, I needed a leotard for my Halloween costume, and I heard Kinney's was the place to go. The staff was super helpful, showing me all the different styles and pointing out where the changing rooms were, in addition to asking what I was going to be for Halloween, and being really sweet. Rocky Horror was playing in the background, be still my RHPS heart. I really enjoyed this place. If I ever have another leotard need, or my character shoes for Rocky Horror get worn out, I will definitely return to Kinney's! read more

It's nice to have this location in the suburbs. You used to have to drive to their 62nd street location. Great atmosphere and good price on the ballet slippers I purchased. If you need any dance related attire then this is the place to go. read more

Our family has been shopping at Kinney's almost 15 years. The staff is helpful and attentive. If they don't have what we are looking for, they will offer assistance in helping us to find what we need. They are integral part of our dance family. read more

Very nice staff helped me pick out a great pair of pointe shoes and they require masks and social distancing and didn't touch anyone too much read more

If I could give zero stars....I would. I work for a local business, so I really want to support local, but buy on-line...you will get better customer service. read more

I have been a Kinney customer at this location for many years now and have spent quite a lot of money there on my daughter's dance supplies. However, the slightly overpriced merchandise I can handle. What frustrates me in shopping in this store is the attitude of the staff. I have never once left there feeling like they appreciated my business or were very kind. Their idea of customer service leaves a lot to be desired. My daughter and I entered their store 10 minutes before closing time, knowing exactly what we wanted. Instead of politely explaining that there will probably not be enough time to measure my daughter for dance shoes before they closed, they were very abrupt and rude and told us that they were not allowed to stay past 6pm to serve us. I have worked in retail myself in the past and do not ever remember denying a customer service, especially when they came in before the posted closing time. One would think that store management would discourage employees from turning away customers who would be spending $100+ on new dance shoes. Unfortunately, due to a lack of other available choices I will have to continue shopping at Kinney. However, I feel it would be a disservice to others if I did not speak out about the type of service I consistently receive there. It's too bad Kinney takes advantage of the lack of dance store options their customers have to choose from. read more

I've never reviewed before but I was extremely disappointed in this business. The owner came to do character shoe fittings at my daughter's high school. She was fitted in a shoe that was waaaaay too tight. She tried them on in the choir room the day they were delivered and explained that they were too tight and was advised to contact Kinney directly, which we did. Unfortunately, her show was the next night. Knowing we had to return them, I told her she couldn't wear them to her show so she borrowed some from her choir department (who was very kind). I went to exchange the shoes for a larger size today, 4 days later, and was told she couldn't because she had worn them?? The manager was extremely disrespectful and rude. My daughter did NOT wear them and we purchased through Kinney so she would be professionally fitted by Mr. Kinney. If I wanted to guess a size I would have purchased on line. When I contacted him he said he did remember fitting her but there was nothing he could do. What a waste of $58! read more

Hang tight because this will be a lengthy review. My daughter recently moved up to pointe and was so excited to finally get her shoes. Here she was thinking it was going to be a Cinderella-glass-slipper moment. Unfortunately, the lady who was helping us told her she had awful toe point and then proceeded to ask "are you sure she's supposed to be en pointe?" Absolutely awful atmosphere and very discouraging towards little girls who are in it for the fun. Would not recommend. Needs better sales people who can actually do the job of being sales people. read more
