It was my first time visiting this store. I enrolled in adult ballet class and I need soft ballet…read moreshoes. This store carries a lot more than just ballet clothing and shoes. I'm eyeing at another pair of shoes which I can use if ever I enroll in jazz class. I thought the service was excellent. The ladies were friendly and knowledgeable about their products. What's available and what's not. Ballet shoes sizing is different from our every shoes sizes. I'm a 7B but for Capezio brand ballet shoes I'm a 9M. There are no left or right when it comes to ballet shoes but after several times of wearing them they will mold to your feet and then you'll be able to tell which one is for your right foot and which one is for your left. Ballet shoes are supposed to fit like a glove but be mindful of your toes. They should not fold and should be flat on the floor when you stand. Try both pair of shoes before purchasing. Try different brands too. They may look the same but different brands fit differently.

I was given lots of different shoe options, and all my questions and concerns were addressed. I walked out with a great pair of shoes. When I got home I had a last minute change of heart, and decided I wanted the other pair of shoes I was deciding between. I brought them back first thing in the morning and exchanged them no problem! I will definitely be back for my next pair of dance shoes!

There isn't much else in this area of the neighborhood. I love how the store is packed full of costumes and accessories. They have the largest selection of witch hats I've ever seen. The items are organized in a clutter-y sort of way which I love. Kind of like my closet hehe. They had a great selection of suits ranging from the cheap packaged ones to a $700 classic suit that looked like Santa himself would wear. She was nice enough to give us an advanced boxing day sale of 50% off on the suit. She had all the accessories of course and my friend gave it to his father-in-law as a present. It was a huge hit! Now they'll have a Christmas tradition of dressing up as Santa for the little grandchildren. You must come here if you're in search of costumes, accessories and the like.

Anyway, I am glad they haven't because I get to FTR it, but, more importantly, I got the last gorilla mask in the shop! This place really is a gem for costumes and dressing up paraphernalia - it is literally packed to the rafters with stuff and on first entering the shop the temptation might be to back out slowly, overwhelmed by the amount of stuff. Don't. Go and find the lady who runs the shop and tell her what you are looking for - she will take you straight to it. Alternatively, just browse and enjoy the myriad of options open to you.
