On Stage Dancewear and Dance Shoes

I found this place a few years ago and let me tell you, they have so many different dance wear brands and the staff is so kind and helpful! Shout out to Jordan who was helping me with a leotard choice and you bet I got it! Would recommend this place for any and every dancers!

Brough in an old sock the my son loves and I don’t know the brand and couldn’t find them. They knew what it was and were able to order them. They had absolutely every style and brand he uses- even the ones that are hard to find online. Best store in the city for anything dance related.

I'm surprised there are not more dance supply stores in NYC, and I knew I couldn't drop the ball when it came to getting my 12 year old fitted for her first pair of pointe shoes. Her teacher advised us to go to brand stores independently, but that seemed nonsensical to me, so I took a chance with On Stage. Another young dancer with more experience was being fitted when we arrived, and my kiddo was a little intimidated, but when it was time for her to step onto the platform, Carlene immediately shifted into "first timer" mode. Calm, confident, and said just enough to put us at ease while not confusing us. Carlene was so knowledgeable - a shoe would not even be fully on my kiddo's foot before Carlene was shaking her head, whisking it away, and returning with another pair. 25 pairs of shoes later, we left with our Bloch shoes, new toe pads, some new apparel thanks to the pointe shoe purchase discount, and her "officially en pointe" swag from On Stage. The rest of the staff was charming and encouraging, and incredibly patient despite some rather pushy customers. I will absolutely recommend On Stage to new en pointe dancers and will visit again as our knowledge grows.

Jordan was incredibly helpful when we came in to get pointe shoes for my daughter. He brought out several different options and clearly knew exactly how to check the fit and what to look for. He helped her narrow down the choices and made sure she ended up with the pair that fit her perfectly. He was also great at helping her pick out a leotard. Jordan was efficient, knowledgeable, kind, and very patient throughout the whole process. We were in and out in about 30 minutes, which was amazing since we had somewhere else to be. I can’t recommend Jordan enough—such a great experience!

they are the perfect place to dance for dance heels for big women. I'm so happy they had my size 13. thank you so much and they allowed me to exchange them which was helpful. i hope they continue to order more thirteens us bigger feet girls need it. the price is pretty reasonable considering i paid double for shoes at burju and they broke within two weeks
