My son attends Pittsburgh Ballet Theater School so we've shopped here numerous time. Both because of the close proximity to the school and that they offer a discount to PBT students. The shop itself is small, but it is packed with basically everything you can need. Probably because there aren't as many male dancers, several other local dance stores don't carry many items for boys/men, but this location has it all! Dance tights, dance pants, dance shirts and dance shoes in a variety of styles and sizes. It is a bit more expensive than some options (like amazon), but there is value in getting to try things on in person (instead of guessing at sizes) and also supporting a local business. Staff has always been friendly and welcoming. They were also really patient with my son who was having issues with the texture of some of the tights and working with him to find something that would work for his needs. If you need dance supplies, definitely recommend stopping here! read more

I danced for 15 years (age 3-18) and to say I was out of the loop and rusty is an understatement. Starting adult ballet classes and I was clueless as to sizing for shoes these days, etc. I received so much help it was incredible. Such a welcoming environment. Staff have superior product knowledge, patience, and care. They even referred me to other dance programs and events. Amazing experience. read more

The Dancer's Perfect Fit - Shoe Stores Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

I am a dance teacher at a nonprofit organization. Our first group of girls were getting their very first pair of pointe shoes. We called The Dancer's Pointe and they offered to open the store early so we could have it all to ourselves while the girls tried on shoes! The staff were so accommodating and knowledgeable and helped each girl find a pair that worked. After explaining about our organization and what we do, they gave us a really generous discount on the entire purchase! They were so helpful and kind. I know my students' first experience with their pointe shoes was a positive and memorable one thanks to the ladies at The Dancer's Pointe! We will be buying a lot of dance supplies from them in the future! read more

Theses guys are great! I came here in the 80's and just had my niece fitted for her first pair of pointe shoes. Caring and professional! Thank you. read more

I'm leaving one star because 0 isn't an option. They sold us shoes that broke after being worn 3 TIMES. Completely unhelpful, just a slew of reasons why it was our fault they ripped even though they admitted it has happened often with these shoes. Don't waste your time or money. Buy through Amazon. read more

I bought my daughter in with 2 other moms and their kids to get fitted for her first pair of pointe shoes. The girls working in there with the exception of 1 seemed miserable as if they didnt want to be there. 2 of the girls who were with us (5 girls in total) were told in a very condescending manner to get OFF of the chair but.. we were the only customers there at the time. As we were looking around the shop LOOKING FOR THINGS TO BUY, the employees kept saying "excuse me" in very rude tones as they scurried around the store. I asked if they had a restroom and instead off saying it isn't open to the public, they said "its out of order but the ice cream shop at the corner you can go to the bathroom there" (Ice cream shop was closed. it was 10 am on a Saturday morning.) At one point my daughter sickled her foot as she was standing in her pointe shoes for the fitting and the girl fitting her said "don't ever do that again" with no smile no lilt in her voice just the overwhelming stench of "B***h". What should have been a great experience was an overpriced, disappointing, misuse of time, energy, and for the owners, wasted employees. Please employ people who actually know how to handle children and act as if they WANT to be in the building. Not miserable twenty somethings acting as if our being in their store and purchasing the items there was a waste of their time. read more
