Dance This Way

This store has fabulous products and employees! I’ve been amazed by this store since I’ve walked in. The only thing I have found to be a problem with this store is pointe shoe fittings. I didn’t schedule an appointment, but they still let me have a fitting, which was amazing. It started very well; the women that helped me were fabulous. They kept having me try different shoes so I could find just the right one. I even found a pointe shoe that was better than the ones I had been using before! I felt great until they started refreshing my memory on how to do ribbons and elastics. I didn’t have hyperextended ankles and they still told me to cross the elastics! i was so surprised that they brought that up when I knew it was wrong. i didn’t correct them because I thought that maybe they weren’t really paying attention to my ankles, so I let it go. After though they told me to stitch my elastics was to far forward, like where the ribbons should be. I was really started to wonder about them. My mother even asked about it after, and she knows nothing about dance! I had only had one pair of pointe shoes before and had been a few years since I had gotten new ones, so I was a little worried that i was wrong, and being only 14, I am very forgetful. Before sowing them I went to my teacher to make sure I had been doing it the right was, and she said that they were totally wrong! Also there pointe shoes were very expensive, so I would check the prices of shoes at other stores too before buying them. I would definitely go back there, but before sowing your shoes, make sure you approve them with your teacher!

The best dance supply shop around! I have never been to a dance shop that has both the selection of quality products I’m looking for and the excellent customer service to match. My daughter does ballet and we have been exclusively shopping at Dance This Way since we discovered it four years ago. From leotards to tights to hair nets to accessories — they always have just what we need! And they’re willing to order what they don’t have.
In addition, every staff member is helpful and knowledgeable. They are great at fitting ballet slippers, never trying to sell you something that isn’t right for you. My daughter always feels like she’s being listened to when she tells them how a particular ballet slipper feels or fits. And the staff never seems annoyed by needing to try multiple pairs or brands — in fact, it seems as though they actually enjoy helping you find the right pair!
I’m always a satisfied customer here and will continue to shop here as long as my daughter dances! Five stars!

This is THE place to get dance and stage shoes in New England. Their skills at fitting the right shoe for your foot are unmatched. Could be cheaper, but they earn it by having excellent customer service.
Right across Comm Ave from the commuter rail station.
