From the reviews

We love this small shop. They always give my daughter their full attention when sizing shoes and tights. We go here for all our dance needs.

★★★★★ — Christopher, Oct 2018

They have a good selection and an awesome clearance rack. Thankful to the dance moms that put this together, as we do not have many places to shop for dance attire. Very friendly atmosphere!

★★★★☆ — Jennifer, Feb 2017

My grandmother and I went looking for new shoes and tights for my show choir because of dodgy ones from amazon that had major problems. Of course, my director had advised us to look at this store and I had wanted to use amazon to avoid in store hassles but when I tell you the customer service was excellent, I mean…

★★★★★ — Kamri, Jan 2024

This quaint shop is filled with everything a dancer might need. We discovered this shop as we searched for a place to find a last minute costume need for competition. Rayma was so sweet and provided several suggestions.

Your first ballet class at The Dancer's Pointe

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
