dance etc. was born out of the desire to bring quality products from well-known manufacturers, in a setting where trusted Dance Professionals were not only available to answer your questions and help you find products to best suit your needs, but PROPERLY size and fit you in Dancing Shoes! Dancers know how Dance shoes should fit. Our Professionally trained staff is here to help!

Over the course of my career, I recognized the importance of having the “right” shoe, the most supportive tights and dancewear that was not only comfortable but stylish.
As a Dancer, I KNOW what is important! I have worn this "stuff" my entire life so I know "what works" and "what doesn't"! I can easily tell a quality product from a less than stellar product and I KNOW how things should fit!
Quality Products. Trusted Manufacturers. Professional Shoe Fittings. Expert Advice. Excellent Customer Service. That is what we are all about.....

We are also the only store in the South that offers LaDuca Footwear. Handmade in Italy, they are a Professional Dancer’s must have! Designed by a Dancer-for Dancers, they are the First and only truly Flexible Dancing Shoe! Known as the "Gucci" of Dance Shoes, LaDuca is truly the "Creme de la Creme"! Come check them out today! In stock and available for purchase!
