I've walked by this Capezio store multiple times without even realizing it is there. But it was there in my hour of need! Speaking of hours, their hours are a little bit tough to work with I believe 10 AM to 6 PM. I did stop by a few times at 10 AM and no one was around yet, but they definitely are open in the afternoons. The inside has way more merchandise than the small exterior hint at. And the owner definitely knows his dance shoes. He measured my feet and brought it out several options for me to try. All told, it only took me 10 minutes to get a new pair of ballet slippers, which I have been loving so far. Prices are slightly higher than what you would find online, but the service and immediacy of getting your shoes and the option to try on different styles and sizes makes up for the slightly higher prices.

We made an appointment for a point shoe fitting and we were in and out the door very quickly.

After the 6th shoe, my daughter volunteered to be a demonstrator for a woman who was doing a pointe training and the fitter for trendy trends did a workshop on pointe shoe fittings. Thank God we found out about this place. On the 7th try we finally found her magic shoe! The fitter knows what she is doing and takes the time to find a good one. The rest of the places were good even though the shoe didn't fit but the Pointe Shop was definitely the worst so I'd say avoid them if you can. We tried 2 Pointe Shops {Oakland and SF w/Josephine). At least the people in Oakland are genuine. The orange county one I am still waiting for them to send me a pair of shoes I ordered 4 months ago even though they said it would take 2 months (which in itself is bad) and I won't even talk about my daughter's fitting with Josephine. Anyway enough about Pointe shop! Go to Trendy Trendz!

As soon as I mentioned my daughter attends Bayer for ballet, the person on the phone told me "Oh we have the shoe in stock in all sizes," without even needing to have me ask if she had the style. The lady who helped us was friendly and helped us try on a few sizes so we could get a good fit. We were in and out of there in fifteen minutes. I saw they also sell leotards, pointe shoes and more; I'm sure we'll be back for our other ballet shoe needs.

The prices were very reasonable and the quality much better than the stuff I get when I shop online.

I was surprised to see the low rating for Dancer Dejour but like someone else said, it looks like all the negative reviews are for a previous owner which brought down its rating. I'm glad to talk about the new owner. She is available by text and when I needed pointe shoes ASAP (same day) when all other stores were sold out, she was there for me, thank God! It's Nutcracker season and we need these shoes. Her prices are also comparable to online stores if you pay cash which is amazing. Thank you so much Dancer Dejour!

When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised at the large selection of dance shoes & clothing. My daughter chose 2 pairs of half soles-a canvas pair & a leather pair, as well as a bra with interchangeable clear or nude straps for her recital costumes. I was surprised when she told us the total. Our usual store has higher prices. Even though this store is further from home for us, my daughter & I decided this is our new dance store. It'a in a beautifui neighborhood, in a little strip mall with cute restaurants and a market. The owner was super patient and really helpful assisting her with brand info for picking the best fit for both the shoes and the bra. We will definitely be back.
