Dans LA Danse Dancewear

Since I’ve had a bad track record with dance shops closer to home, I had to venture to Orange County. The lady that answered the phone was nice, but said I’d have to call back since she was on hold with another call. I just told her I was looking for a certain item and she was able to write down the style # I provided and when I’d call back, she’d have an answer for me. And she did. Although the one I was looking for was not available, she was able to name off another style (which was actually my second choice) & I was on my way.
Jeez, I don’t know this area very well but Sky Park is a huge business area with some random businesses throughout. I got so lost. When I called, she was helpful and told me they faced Red Hill and she even went outside on the phone so I would find her. Ironically, there was a costume shop called ‘Pink Kitty’ a little further down, but this carried… different kinds of costumes that I don’t need, if you catch my drift.
Staff here was nice, not overtly friendly, but perfect where I can search without being hassled and compared to the non-​existent (or just terrible) service I’ve had locally, they won the Congeniality pageant if there was one. I found what I was looking for in two different colors and finally was on my way.
Even better, I changed my mind the following week and they let me exchange the item with no hassle at all. A different lady was assisting me this time, and she was just as good as the first. If you’re in this area and in need of dance items, definitely give this place your time.

There is a great selection of dance gear. We were the only cust and she didn’t recommend anything or say much. Maybe I didn’t look like a big spender. Who knows. She did ask my daughter her name when we were checking out. Anyways make sure you know what you want because the help isn’t much in my experience. She did walk me and point to a rack with my daughters size, so 4 star review. I had 20% off since I had a coupon from OC Dancing. Check with your dance studios for coupons. Not bad experience not every owner makes small talk.

If you want a wide selection and professional fitting, this is the place to go. I have been dancing in an academy since I was 8 and I am picky on style of leotards and I obviously know how I want my shoes to fit. Last time I went, Audrey was helping a girl fit some point shoes and I was honestly SHOCKED to see the variety of point shoes she had in stock. It’s rare for a store to have so much in stock and knowing Audrey for a while now, I know she’s a reliable person for great, honest help. She looks at girl’s feet everyday, how could she not be pro by now?
Pricing is high but brands like Capezio and Bloch are consistently expensive everywhere else. I’ve been to Discount Dancewear before this and Dancewear’s Choice at the UCI mall and honestly, their selection and service does not compare (plus their prices are just about the same). Service is inconsistent at these places, especially with the young employees who have only been working there for a short amount of time. If you know exactly what you want, then that’s a different story. However, since I am always on the lookout for some awesome pair of ballet warmups and a cool design on leotards, I know this place helps me looking and feeling my best in class.

This store is a little out of the way but, worth the trip! They have exactly what I need. I have 3 dance stores around me and at EVERY store my daughter was fitted wrong! Audrey and her staff know how to fit shoes. Pricing is the same wherever you go. A new store opened up across from the studio but my Trust remains with Audrey.

Great selection of dance wear. I found just what i was looking for.

Had to only give one star, the service was horrible! I have gone here for a year, my daughter is young and I don’t always know what I need. They do have a big selection and usually have the sizes I need but they are odd. There is never anyone in the front, you always have to wait for them to come out and help you. And you always feel rushed to buy and get out. I went there last night at 6:45 (they close at 7) and was told while I was making a pile to purchase, that I could come back tomorrow, as she had to leave. It wasn’t even 7 yet!!! I had purchased $ 200 of items earlier in the day and was purchasing more! I will find another place to spend my money that makes me feel comfortable. It is a hard location to find too, as it is in skypark circle and can get confusing.

Ever been to an establishment where you feel rushed and pressured to buy and you know you are not ready to? Well, this is exactly how I felt here. In my saga to find the right jazz shoes for my beginner daughter, I came here. Even better was they offered 20% off your entire purchase — WOW! Well, I learned, not so wow after all.
The first thing that turned me off was there were no prices on the dance shoes and when I asked the sales lady the price, she hesitated and it seemed she was making it up as she thought best. «$ 30 something with discount» is what she told me. I asked, «Are there any other brands/​styles available?» She answered my question with a question — Don’t you hate that? Well, I do. «What brand are you looking for?» Heck if I know! I just want to know what all my options are ok?!
All she would say is, this is the brand that all jazz classes use. I asked about the 20% advertised discount and she said, that’s already factored in the $ 30 something price.
Because I felt very rushed, I thanked her for her time and said I will be checking out other stores. Discount Dance Supply offered the same shoes for less and without all that pressure.

Came here looking for shoes for salsa dancing. The staff was in the backroom so I had to wait a couple minutes for them to come out. When they did come out, they were very accommodating and wanted to put the shoes on for me, like I was royalty or something. Extremely appreciated gesture, but having people putting shoes on for me is too weird for me, I’m not that spoiled. Thankfully, they let me put on my own shoes. They have a small dance floor area where I got to try a spin in the shoes. Overall very friendly and very speedy service.
