Ranelagh Shop
Nestled in the heart of Ranelagh village, Dance World in Ranelagh has served dancers on Dublin’s Southside for 25 years. Opening its doors in 1988, the year the Kirov Ballet and Bolshoi Ballet first visited Dublin, Dance World in Ranelagh is known locally for its award winning window displays and beautiful visual merchandising.
Parnell Street Shop
Dance World Parnell Street is our flagship store. After closing its doors as Charles Stewart Fashion Shoes, Dance World Parnell opened in the summer of 1978. Located in the heart of Dublin City Centre, Dance World on Parnell Street is very popular with visitors from abroad, especially those looking for Irish dancing shoes. It is also the store that caters for our ballroom dancing customers.
Dance World Online
Our e-commerce website launched in 1999, making Dance World one of Ireland’s earliest online retailers. After evolving through several generations, danceworld.ie is now the go-to destination for dancewear, shoes and accessories for customers throughout the Republic of Ireland, with tracked delivery and convenient An Post returns. Customers ordering outside the Republic of Ireland can shop through our international store at danceworld.eu.

Over 45 Years of Dance & Dedication
We’ve been dancing through life since the very beginning – literally! Dance World is a proudly family-run Irish business that’s been serving the dance community for over 45 years.
What started as a small passion project has grown into Ireland’s leading destination for dancewear, shoes, and expert advice. But no matter how much we grow, we still do things the family way – with heart, care, and a genuine love for helping dancers feel their best (and look fabulous while doing it).
From tiny ballerinas to seasoned pros, we’re here for every stage, every step, and every story – just like we have been since day one.
