Online Boutique

Need help choosing the right size?

Visit us during Open House and we'll happily size your dancer for shoes and dance wear. We also keep a small selection of dance wear, tights, and bags available for purchase in the studio.

Don't panic if your order doesn't arrive before the first class! We know shipping delays happen. Just let us know if you're waiting on shoes or dance wear. We'll help make sure your dancer can get started while your order is on the way.

Order Dancewear & Shoes


  • Enter through our rear entrance, located off Hanley Industrial Court, where you'll find our designated drop-off lane and the majority of our parking.

  • Plan to arrive about 10 minutes before your first class.

  • First time visiting? Stop by the front desk when you arrive! We'll help point you in the right direction, answer any last-minute questions, and make sure your dancer knows exactly where to go.

  • Additional staff members will be available throughout the first week of the school year season to help families get settled.

  • Please note: Please use the rear entrance for all arrivals and drop-offs. The Strassner Drive entrance is reserved for exiting the building.
