My girls decided they wanted to take dance. I walked into this store with a list and not knowing what to do. The staff was awesome! They helped myself and my girls with everything needed. For 5 years we had awesome experiences here

Helpful employees with a wide range of things to help you get into character they also seem to know about things outside of just putting on what they sell to take it up a step

Bonnie Sessomes

This store has amazing customer service, its small but has everything...pretty pricey to and Just be careful there's a no return policy and I normally don't shop at stores like that but I had a great experience.

I love this store, the first time I came here was the week before I started dance, I needed black jazz shoes, a leotard, and transition tights. The employee helped me find the right size leotard (I couldn't even find the tag myself) and when I tried the leotard on she pointed out that I might want to wear a smaller size since it was loose in a few areas. After being a tremendous help with that, she pulled out about 4 different brands and different sizes to help me find the right size and fit for me.

Literally a one stop shop. This store has everything needed for my daughter's dance recital. A little pricey but I guess that's the convenience of being able to get everything from one location.

Are you looking for a Halloween costume. This is the place to go.just happened to have been next door buying dancing shoes and saw this. Now I have a costume for Halloween.

Shawn Evans

My daughter found her ballet costume she was looking for. Decent location, good parking, friendly staff but some items were a tad bit pricey but my daughter felt the prices were ok for costumes and ballet items. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs ballet items, dance items, costumes of all sorts or Halloween costumes. It's so much stuff here to browse through.

I was referred to the store did to their selection and affiliation to my daughters dance group. (A discount on wears if purchased). 1. Upon entering the store, I could only identify one person assisting customers. She was awesome. 2. My daughter is hard to fit in dance shoes, I just needed to know if they carried her size. 3. I located the brand that my daughter preferred, I just learned down to see if they carried her size as I located the shoes we were looking to replace. I never intended to move anything on the self. 4. "We are not self service" was the greeting that a received. And no, it was not pleasantly started. It was only after this comment was made that I noticed her seating of the the side of the self. She was conversing with two other women. I head no idea there was someone else in the store. 4. I wish I had received the same level of service that I witnessed her employee giving the other customers. 5. Due to the aforementioned and the thought space in which we were standing, I asked my daughter to back out of the area. The way in which she addressed me gave me the impression that she thought we are shoplifting. 6. As we were moving out of the area so that we could wait to be served. She did ask me if I was offended and when I replied "yes, you did offended me." She went on to then state to another customer in my presence that she felt she had done nothing that could be viewed as offensive. I did not make a purchase due to the rudeness of the owner. Initially it was the tone in which she addressed me. Ultimately, it was the manor in which she tried to demean me. She maybe the owner, but this is not the only store that sells such products. I happily took my business where my patronage is appreciated and I am not left to feel like a bother.

Staff was very helpful. Eager to serve and offer advice. Top notch there. Though, The selection and quality of products are not good for what I needed. Prices are astronomical! Mostly for children. Keep your expectations low.

Rhonda Saulsbury

Love this place! I've known Harriet for many years and my Mom and I shopped at this store when I danced as a little girl. And now my daughter is dancing and I'm so happy to return to this wonderful familiar place! Wonderful selection of dance attire, no matter what it is! Pleasant, helpful staff! Thank you Harriet and your family for serving the Baltimore Metropolitan area and beyond for so many years!

Came here to buy everything for my daughter's dance class. I was told this was a one stop shop for the things I needed. We ultimately got ran out and threatened by the shop owner because we mentioned getting a backup pair of shoes online.

Prompt and friendly service. Store is small and crowded but they had what i needed and service was great.

A great local dance shop. The owner has been there for years and her experience has been invaluable in finding the right ballet slippers and then pointe shoes for my hard to fit daughter. I'm very happy to support local businesses like theirs.

Jasmine Wynn

Accused my daughter of stealing a cape that she wore into the store with a smile and asked us to not be offended when making a $45 purchase. This is the 3rd and last pair of dance shoes we will purchase from here.....we good

Calandra Arrington

Owner was rude! If she thinks you're not going to purchase from her, she'll dismiss you. Staff will stop helping you to assist someone else. Price are expensive because they are the only local dance shop. I did better online with Discount Dance!

Talk about a rip off. Let’s see before Christmas purchased new tap shoes and pointe shoes. Have been coming here for all dance shoes so needless to say we have spent hundreds. Anyway this day we came for tap and pointe. Everything was great until it was time to use them and the elastic and ribbon was not with the shoes. I called and was told I had to purchase them. Sure they were only $6.00 but it’s the principal of the matter. I asked around and according to the dance teacher and plenty of other students, they received their elastic and ribbon when they purchased. Went to the store to get them and was told by an employee that “we don’t know the situation” “some dancers already have ribbon and elastic and don’t want new, seriously it gets sewn on the shoe so who really saves the elastic and ribbon. Just as I told her we are first year pointe so that wasn’t the issue. I also asked to see ballet shoes and was told we don’t do it that way, we have to help you. Same women, didn’t bother to get her name, wasn’t worth it- glasses and pretty homely looking is the best description I can give. So glad there are other places to purchase our dance shoes in the area. Surely hope the $6 elastic and ribbon was worth it- every season we get new tap, ballet and lyrical shoes and let me not forget I also need ballet and tap shoes, wouldn’t dare spend another penny in here.

Vikki Rideout

Customer service is great and the selection is vast!

Valerie M

Owner is rude and dismissive of those she doesn't think are going to spend a lot of money. Prices are HIGH. I've seen employees retagging merchandise and asked if things were being marked down. I was told that they were actually being marked UP because "it's recital season and people will need new things". What a rip off!!

Shann Loves Hair

I discovered this store when searching at the last minute for dance apparel for my daughters who started ballet the next day. All I can say is that this is your one stop shop for all of your dance apparel needs for shoes, to leotards to dance shoes and the staff is extremely helpful! The owner actually personally stayed and helped me after the store closed and personally fit my daughters herself. We felt so special. I could tell that she used her dance knowledge every step of the way. You have a life long customer!! Thank you!!!!!!
