Dancer’s Dream

Ran in to get Jazz shoes for my daughter minutes before closing and they couldn’t have been more helpful! Great selection and well stocked, they had just what we needed. Took the time to measure her for a perfect fit. I could have shopped online from who knows where, and saved what maybe $ 5 – 10, but would have no idea of sizing or quality. The convenience of having a specialty shop like this so close to home cannot be beat. They are asset to the Fox Valley area!

My daughter attends classes locally and its hard to find a place nearby so we can go in and actually try things on. Glad that Dancers Dream is right in downtown Geneva. We’ve purchased shoes here as well as a dance leotard on 2 separate occasions. The staff is friendly and well informed. I highly recommend this store.

Would never shop here again! Went to the store and to my disappointment they did not have any shoes in my size. They offered to order a size 6 and size ⁶¹⁄₂ for me to try on. I was very clear I needed the shoes in 15 days. After 7 days I called to follow-​up only to find that they had not ordered the shoes and had not even tried to contact me. They would only order the shoes with a 50% deposit and whether the shoes fit or not I would be obligated to purchase them. What I find most upsetting is that no one called even though the young girl who waited on me did ask the owner/​mgr the procedure when I was there. Bad, Bad, Bad customer service.

This is a great local store for all your dance needs. Pointe shoe fitting is great — ask for Lindsey as her knowledge is amazing! She’s our go to contact when replacing shoes. Wear Moi leotards and related are competitively priced. Great service and selection.

Nice, small dance store. Staff is friendly and helpful. My daughter was originally evaluated at Russian Pointe in the city… but now we get her shoes right out in the ‘burbs. They do a great job… even with special orders.

This store is wonderful!
Friendly staff, very knowledgeable regarding the sizing of shoes. Went out of their way to make sure I got exactly what I needed!

I thought this was a very nice store. It was small but what they had was the good stuff. The staff was very nice and more than helpful on products and recommendations for children’s dance classes. I was happy to know I had a good local option

More like dancers nightmare. I bought shoes here awhile back and thought the service was ok, not good or great but I was in a pinch and needed shoes… so I went again because…
We received a pair of dance shoes from here as a gift but they were too small. I went to exchange and the owner wouldn’t do it. We didn’t have a receipt (as they were a gift) so we were out of luck, even though the exchange would have been simply for size. So, I was pigeonholed into buying another pair. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GIVE A DIME TO THESE PEOPLE. The second pair was a different brand pushed by the owner, unfortunately the sizing didn’t translate across the brands. I bring them home to my daughter who can’t fit them. One hour later I try to return them, only they won’t take the return.
For crying out loud, these have never been worn and they don’t fit. I bought based on their suggestion which is what caused this issue in the first place, they were rude to me when I checked out and now they refuse to give me my money back. I don’t want to exchange these shoes here, I don’t want to ever step foot in here again. If I was a business owner I would be a lot more concerned with my reputation.
I will be sure to let everyone I know they are better off buying their dance gear anywhere else.

The ladies that work here, especially the young one who assisted me the most are awesome!
I am not a dancer. Well, I was, but I quit with gusto before I hit middle school and became a band geek instead.
The fact that the employees here were as friendly as helpful to me as they were was pretty awesome considering why I was here.
My absolute favorite movie ever is the Big Lebowski. I attend Lebowski Fests. I have been looking for a very vital piece for a costume for several years and decided to drop in here to see if they might have something I could use. They did, as it turned out.
So I’m trying to describe my vision, even showing a picture of the character I wished to portray, which may have been traumatizing to this young girl but she took it in stride. She and another older woman were looking in their back room and showing me pictures on their computer, allowed me to try the thing on and were just so nice and trust me, this was not a normal thing I was inquiring about.
I ended up purchasing the thing, though I was looking more for a full coverage flesh toned unitard — long sleeve and ankle length, basically I need to look naked but not illegally so. The thing I got doesn’t have legs but I’m going to make it work. And it was like $ 21!
Rock on, ballerinas.
