Both my daughters have been dancing since they were toddlers and we have bought shoes and dance supplies from plenty of dance shops. Dance Etc. is by far the very best we have ever shopped--both with inventory available as well as customer service. Pointe shoe fitting here is reason enough not to shop anywhere else! What a breath of fresh air! We have never had such a comprehensive fitting from beginning to end with such a knowledgeable person doing the fitting for my girls! They have never had their shoes feel so good while dancing and fit their feet so well. It has made such a difference in their MANY hours of pointe classes a week and the way they are able to articulate their feet now that they have the perfectly fitted shoes. If there was a rating more than 5 stars, Dance Etc. would have that from me!
