We have a full service Dance Boutique right here for our dancers' convenience! We sell everything that they need for all of their classes with us, including shoes, tights, leotards and other miscellaneous dancewear, and most items are kept in a constantly updated stock. We have sizing kits for any items we may be temporarily sold out of, and can order those in for our customers within 5 business days.
Making your dance supply purchases with us ensures the right shoe & tights colors for performances, and a fit that allows a good but still safe amount of growing room. Our prices for new dancewear, tights & shoes easily meet or beat all local dance stores, and you save on time, money & frustration too!
We also offer gift items and hand-made rhinestone & ribbon hair accessories, all of which are available for custom-order.
In addition to new dancewear & shoes, we also offer a consignment program for our customers so they may purchase gently-used shoes & leotards for their dancers. They also may bring in items their dancers have grown out of to place on consignment and earn credit toward future dance expenses!
Gift certificates for occasions are also available!

*Topaz/Emerald/Sapphire Jazz, Opal/Diamond Tap and Acrobatics, Amber/Aquamarine Lyrical and Jumps&Turns, and JCD/CDS Team Rehearsals): there will be one designated class per month where students may participate in "Free Dress Day" - this means they may wear fitted dark-colored lycra-content shorts (called "booty shorts" in the dance industry) and a half or full top that fits tightly like a leotard. Dancers will not be permitted to adopt the Free Dress Code unless its a designated week, and it is optional - just for fun! Dancers are always welcome to stick to the regular dress code. Designated "Free Dress Days" will be emailed out to students registered in those classes AND posted on the calendar section of our website as soon as they've been determined. These items are also available for purchase at the dance studio.
