our history
Dance is in our DNA
Super shop. I remember getting Irish dance shoes here years ago. Took my daughter for her first pair of ballet pumps. Service was amazing. My daughter is delighted!
As a man who knows nothing about ballet, I find it somewhat awkward going in to a shop like this to collect shoes, tights leotards etc for my daughters. However, the staff couldn't be more helpful and attentive. Lovely, professional, friendly service... A pleasure to visit.
Lovely shop, lovely Staff!!!!!!!!! Fabulous costumes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was never anything like this when I was a child. Unless you were lucky enough to have a mum, aunt, sisters relations who could help and make your costume. !!!!! Xxxxx
This is heaven for all the dancers, gymnasts, ballet lovers. Great selection, beautiful interior, the only thing they can work on is staff. Sometimes you get a great service and some times you feel like an intruder. However, it's a truly different world type of shop that I truly recommend.
