The owner (a former professional dancer) is very friendly and talkative and welcoming to guests. Because this is the main dance supply store in Akron, they are familiar with UA's Dance Institute (one of the studios I go to) and Cleveland Ballet. On the way in and out today I went through the alternative side entrance (which they opened because of the constant street construction in the North Hill district) which afforded me a good view of the back room where they keep all their pointe shoes.

She checked for me and they did have them in stock in my size. i told Anita that i would be there for sure as i wanted to purchase dance shoes to line dance in ASAP. i got there about 5 minutes before her closing hours due to my other errands taking up too much time; along with horrible traffic. She was still there thank goodness. She measured my feet; i tried on the shoes; and i came away a very happy dancer! Shoe brand is a quality long-lasting dance shoe brand (Anna Kern). On top of this they are better priced than the brand that's being heavily advertised by a well-known dance show judge. Highly recommend this dance shoe/apparel shop!

I was in the market for a swimsuit, goggles, and swimming cap. I came here awhile ago and was…read moresurprised with the great selection. The lady working was very kind and helpful. I am taller and normal swimsuits don't usually fit me, but the lady said she can order some in the store for taller people. I ended up buying a pair of goggles from here, and use them every time I swim. Not only do they have swimming , but they have dance wear as well. You would drive past it on the road because it is kinda hard to tell from their sign that this is them. It kinda looks like a house with a porch (It fooled me). If you have a kid or even looking for yourself for swim or dance this is the place.

Tutu School is magic. From my daughter's very first class, she was in love and it's so easy to see…read morewhy. The owners, Kate and Grant, take humble pride in the community they have built. From the environment to the team to the events, they pour passion into what they do. Tutu School is a clean, beautiful boutique environment that is a dream. A half wall with a latch gate separates the dance space from the comfortable area with ample seating surrounding. In the dance space, pink and purple dots are on the floor as place markers. A corner shelf holds all the dance props that vary each class. The team is so sweet. My daughter's permanent class is with Teacher Jasmine, who has welcomed us from the start. Unlimited twirling introduced us to Teacher Sara, Teacher Annaliese and Teacher Savannah- who are all amazing! Each of the teachers follows the same general format, but each offers their own unique touch. Bravo Bash is Tutu School's recital and it is the absolute cutest thing. It is the perfect stress free introduction to recital. The rehearsals are during class time and the teachers are on stage during the performance. They also keep the performance as a whole short and sweet, so the little ones thrive through and through. After my shy daughter's first performance, she was confidently beaming with pride. She talked about it for months and it was and continues to be the most heart warming conversations. On Tutu Days, my daughter wakes up, changes and comes out of her room dressed and ready requesting a ballerina bun. Every day with the same excitement, ballet days are the best! My daughter is hooked and it's no secret- WE LOVE BALLET!

Our mission is simple: We believe that exposing children at the earliest possible age to creativity, movement, and classical music will only serve them well in whatever they choose to do with their lives, that dancing like swans and Sugar Plum Fairies not only exercises little bodies but also nurtures big imaginations, and that twirling should be a fundamental part of any childhood.

When I asked the cashier behind the counter she first said "we don't carry that" I pulled up the webpage and showed her that it says you do. She said "I guess I can check to see if we do" and WOW sure enough they do! She then says "oh wow it says we do...but it was shipped to us in February" I stared at her and she stared back at me because I have no clue what that sentence means. I asked "so are you going to point me in the right direction?" And she goes "oh it's in our backroom." And again stares at me without saying anything else. I say "ma'am I'm not an employee I can't go into your back room- can you get it for me then?" She says "uh hang on" then calls over another cashier who looks around the front of the store for a second and says "yeah they're not up here" I then begin to question if I'm in the twilight zone and state "she says you have them in stock but their in your backroom. I would like to purchase one can someone go and get me a can of pepper spray?" The cashier repeats that theyre not upfront- to which I finally break and stare "it appears that I'm being an inconvenience to you all by asking you to do your job while you're at your job. Clearly no one wants to help or sell this product to me so I will take my business elsewhere" I can't recommend going to another location. I get that the product I'm looking for isn't a regularly sold item at Dicks but for Christ sake; if it's available why is no one trying to sell a customer their product? And it made me look like the asshole- which makes me not only never want to come back here but to write a review on how awful the place is to convince more customers to not come here. I get that your store is named Dicks, but that doesn't mean you have to act like one to your customers...
