    Allegro Dance Boutique - Update September 4 2025: almost 2 years to the day I went back and bought this lol.

    I'm choreographing a musical and realized my character shoes from 2008 are a little dicey now (the…read moreheel literally fell off lol). I don't necessarily need character shoes, but I do want to get some sort of cute shoe that I can teach in and are a little more robust than my ballet shoes. I used to have various lyrical jazz shoes way back in the day (1996 haha), so after looking to see what kind of shoes they still make, I found some that Allegro carries. Better yet, the two shoes I wanted to try they had on clearance (I guess they may be discontinuing them?) for a bargain on their website. They only had shoes in what I thought would be way too small, but I figured I'd give it a try. I went yesterday (almost exactly 2 years to the day since the last time I was here), and it was a great experience yet again. The sales associate was super nice and brought out both shoes, and surprisingly they were only about a half size too small. But, for $10 for the cheaper pair, I figured it's good enough and maybe they'll stretch a little as I wear them. I can make any shoe fit if I'm motivated enough. I also impulse purchased the cute hoodie that I mentioned in my review back from September 2023 (see photo from that review). I saw that they still have it and so I couldn't pass it up this time. They were quite busy when I was there (about 3pm on a Thursday), so it's great to see them thriving.

    Extremely disappointing experience. We attended a scheduled pointe shoe fitting and were sold the…read morewrong size shoes (size 5 for a size 9 dancer). We trusted the professional fitting, only to find out at home that the shoes didn't fit at all. When the mistake was brought to their attention, the store refused to exchange or refund because one shoe had been sewn--even though the sizing error was theirs. Offering a $15 credit instead was insulting. Poor service and zero accountability. Do not recommend.

    Was searching for dance heels and looked on the website to see $50 amazon heels listed on her…read morewebsite for $180+ taxes. I was in shock at the price increase and she stated these are HER heels... the images can speak for themselves.

    To be honest, when I was seeking places online for my son's dance needs, even though Chicago Dance…read moreSupply was the first one to pop up, I tried to find other places to go. It was just a little too far from my house. But ultimately, I made the trek. When I arrived at the front door, I wasn't sure I was in the right place. Is there a store at the top of the narrow staircase? Sure enough, this unique set-up on the second floor felt warm and humble and authentic. I was on a tight budget and had to purchase several items but upon communicating that to Mike, the sales person, sprung into action to find me the most affordable ways to complete my goals. He was not only helpful, but charming and genuinely kind. He engaged my young one and conversed fluidly and I wasn't the only one to experience this-- he was just as courteous to the family that walked in after me. Guys, it's been so long since I've had genuine kind customer service without the saccharine manufactured sales pitches, I've forgotten what it should look like. It should look like Mike. He told me my items should last my kid for a long time, but I know where I'll be going should the need arise.

    I tend to buy most of my 3 yr old's dance gear online. I've found adorable leotards on amazon and…read moreeven better ones at zulily, although if you go that route I suggest ordering a size bigger since you'll be waiting months for it. Up until now I"ve also been buying my daughter's ballet shoes online, but since I just signed her up for a *real* dance studio* I thought maybe I should make sure the ballet shoes fit. And that's how we found ourselves at Body & Sole. My little one was fitted for ballet shoes and immediately found her way to their bar where she demonstrated some very awkward looking dance poses that made me think this ballet thing may be short lived. I wasn't planning to buy any leotards here, but couldn't resist buying her yet another sparkly pink ballet dress. It was more expensive than I've found online yet less expensive than what I've seen in actual dance studios in the past. My daughter was also quite excited about the ballet outfits they sell for american girl dolls here. The two women who helped me were very helpful and even had a binder of requested attire from all the dance studios in the area. Fortunately, 3 1/2 year olds can wear whatever they want so the sparkly pink ballet dress will get lots of use. The ballet shoes themselves have already been put to use during a week long ballet camp at Baby Take a Bow.** My little ballerina loved shopping there so much that now when we pass the store she screams "there's my favorite ballet store!" Lucky for her we plan on going back in a few weeks to buy her first pair of tap shoes. * http://www.yelp.com/biz/danced-inc-northbrook?osq=dancEd ** http://www.yelp.com/biz/baby-take-a-bow-winnetka
