The matched Google listing showed 4.5/5 from 43 reviews. Saved customer comments (not independently confirmed): Fantastic shop. So wonderfully attentive & helpful. One thing I love is that they can tell me everything I’ve purchased there, making replacements a breeze! Thank you! | Good selection. Helpful staff. Parking across the street. | Local, knowledgeable and always doing their best by the dancers. | Nice place | Staff here is top notch! | A small and knowledgeable dance store. My daughter has gotten two pairs of pointe shoes here this year and the employees are very knowledgeable in helping dancers select the correct shoes for them. I had my toddler with me at our last visit and had to step outside so he wouldn’t put his hands on everything. My daughter said the lady helping her made her feel safe and comfortable while I tended to her brother. They worked on picking out her new pair of pointe shoes and some others. When I came back in they were finished and I got info on where to order shoes they didn’t carry. Pricing is decent as dance shoes are expensive everywhere. Shop is small and cozy. They have an employee that is immunocompromised and they ask that everyone entering to wear a mask. They do provide one if you don’t have one on you. | Wonderful, knowledgeable staff. Pointe shoe fittings can be long and exhausting. We had the best time today with the staff of My Dance Shoppe. We left with beautiful shoes that fit perfectly. The staff was extremely thorough to ensure safety and comfort while dancing. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! | Had a really bad experience. Didn’t like the sales associate with short brown hair. She was dismissive and unfriendly. We had to make an appointment to get point shoes although no one was there at all. We simply left and will never return. She smart off to my instructor and said we were gonna hurt our feet. That really made me mad. | Nice little shop. The owner was very friendly and helpful. | Very friendly. Finally was able to get the correct point shoes for my daughter. Definitely recommend the drive. | Great service | Very friendly and knowledgeable service | Very friendly and great people here! | My family came here on a busy day,. The staff made sure we felt welcome and attended to our needs. I highly recommend. | Everything we needed. Very friendly. | Cute place! Great customer service! | Always super helpful! | Staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable! | Friendly, knowledgeable staff. A little small, so can be hard to shop with a larger group, but lots of great products. | Best massage pain therapy I've ever had, friendly with local knowledge and connections in the area. As a business traveler I highly recommend this place, great price for wonderful service. | Adorable boutique full of knowledgable staff. | I brought my girlfriend here to be fitted for some point shoes. After trying on 15 plus point shoes we found what we were looking for. The staff was very helpful and friendly throughout the whole process. | Worst customer service. Unfortunately, this was the only place to purchase the ballet apparel for my daughter. The sales associate (short with medium long brown hair) was rude and dismissive.

Refund policy EXCHANGES & RETURNS We want our customers to be happy and satisfied with every purchase! Help us to help you by insuring that all items returned to us (including the packaging they came in) are in new, pristine condition. We have listed some tips below to help you make sure the items you have purchased remain unsoiled until you have made a decision on sizing, etc. Exchanges Exchanges can be made within 30 days of shipment. If you need to exchange an item please contact us. We will e-mail you the paperwork to include in your package with the items you want to exchange – or we will call you if your request needs more personal attention. Any price discrepancy for exchanged items will be processed once returned item is received, before the new item is sent. Please allow 1-2 weeks for your exchange to be fully processed (due to shipping times). If you need faster service, we suggest you use UPS or FedEx to send the item to us – all shipping charges on items being sent to us must be prepaid. We also recommend you insure your return shipment as we are not responsible for lost or stolen return packages. Please be aware that shipping charges will apply for the shipping of the new item. Adding items to your exchange will be considered a new order and will require additional shipping charges. Returns All returns for credit or refund can be made within 30 days of shipment. Refunds apply to merchandise only; shipping charges are non-refundable. If you need to exchange an item please contact us. We will e-mail you the paperwork to include in your package with the items you want to return – or we will call you if your request needs more personal attention. Please allow 1-2 weeks for your return to be processed (due to shipping time). For faster service, we suggest you use UPS or FedEx to return your merchandise – all shipping charges on returns must be prepaid. We also recommend you insure your return shipment as we are not responsible for lost or stolen return packages. Returning A Defective Or Incorrectly Shipped Item: If you believe we have made an error in your order, or if an item is defective, please contact us right away so we can make arrangements for return shipping. There is no charge to you for the return of wrong or defective items. (The original shipping charge you paid to have the item shipped to you is non-refundable.) Please do not send us a wrong or defective item without talking to us first as all returns must be preapproved and the shipping prepaid, either by us or you! Returning Or Exchanging An Item That Does Not Fit: No matter how hard we try, we cannot guarantee that, even with sizing charts and our special tips, every item is going to fit. There really is no substitute to trying things on in person; but we will be more than happy to help you as much as we can. Feel free to contact us if you would like to talk to someone about sizing details on any of our items. Items that do not fit and need to be returned or exchanged are not considered defective or an error in your order, so you will need to pay return shipping for returned items and the shipping charges for exchange items to be sent to you Items That May Not Be Returned or Exchanged: Tights, fishnets and items marked as Clearance or Discontinued cannot be returned or exchanged unless they are defective or were sent to you in error. Special Order items are not normally eligible for returns or exchanges; handled on a case-by-case basis, they will be accepted for return or exchange solely at our discretion. Product Condition: All items need to be tried on, of course. However, they must not have been worn to dance class or appear to have been worn, in order to be returned or exchanged. All items must be in their original resalable packaging with tags attached. Laundered items cannot be returned or exchanged. Shoes must not appear to have been worn (see our Special Tips below) and should be returned in their original undamaged shoe box. All shoe accessories (i.e. laces, ties, bags, etc) must be returned along with the shoes. Please place the package inside another shipping container or box. Do not tape and/or label the shoe box or item packaging or the product cannot be accepted for return or exchange. Special Tips For Trying On Shoes: If you need to return or exchange the shoes from your order, they must be returned in perfectly new, unmarred, and unsoiled condition. Read up on our sizing tips for the kind of shoe you are trying on, especially if it’s your first time wearing these shoes to be sure the fit is right and/or that the growing room is appropriate before you decide to return or exchange. If you are still not sure, contact us! Ballet/Pointe/Jazz Shoes: Make sure your feet are clean and dry before putting them into a new shoe. Imprints will be left on the inside if your feet are damp. Putting a clean pair of tights on first is always a good idea. Lay a clean, dry towel down on the floor before trying them on as the shoes soil very easily and the satin on pointe shoes can become scratched and marred even on carpet. Attaching anything to the shoes, such as elastic or ribbon, will make shoes non-returnable. Tap Shoes/Dance Sneakers: Please try these shoes on a carpeted floor only. The taps can scratch very easily and scratches will make the shoes non-returnable. Dance sneakers are a little tougher – but why take a chance! Do not wear any shoes to a dance class if you think you may need to return them. If you want your teacher to see you in your shoes first, make sure to take precautions (like taking a towel along with you and not attaching elastic or ribbon) to keep them returnable until she/he has approved them. Take along another pair of shoes for class just in case. Wearing your shoes in a dance class will make them non-returnable. Need More Information?
