Dance-N-Things Two

In 20 years of dance, this is the best shop I’ve been to. They are so knowledgable about what they’re doing. I walked in frazzled with a toddler in tow. All I knew was that my go-​to Blochs were no longer cutting it for teaching or dancing. My needs have changed and I have difficult feet to fit: long, Egyptian-​toed, flat foot but high arch (yes– that’s possible), narrow heels… basically a big, fat, pink ballet nightmare. I have worn just about every brand over the years but favor Bloch. They really respected that and took my preference into consideration while trying to find a pair of pointes perfect for me.
The ladies were so lovely. They baby-​sat my son while simultaneously fitting myself and another young woman. I am just visiting but they were very, very knowledgable about what different studios, teachers, and companies in the area prefer for their dancers.
A major point of frustration throughout the years has been salespeople at dance shops telling me what I SHOULD be wearing even though I know my body and my pointe and my personal preferences. I really appreciated the fact that these ladies, while chatting with me like old friends, asked questions and listened to what I had to say. They also immediately knew what would work for me based on my very specific needs. (I can not recommend the new Bloch Eurostretch enough if you have a hard-​to-​fit foot). I left feeling beautiful from my toes up to my calves! They even have a teacher discount. I appreciate a dance shop that understands no one goes into teaching dance for the money :)
I don’t live here (I live in Europe) but I will be back each and every time I am visiting my family here. I just love this place!

Freddy the owner was just the sweetest, most helpful sales person I have ever met. I signed up for an adult ballet class and had no idea what I needed to get. She helped me fit my shoes and she had me try several types and sizes on so that I could get the perfect ones. The customer service here is just wonderful.
