The Dance Shoppe, trusted since 2005

The Dance Shoppe you have come to know and love is now serving its amazing customers in both the Northern VA / Washington Metro Area & the greater Charlottesville VA areas! Carrying a complete line of dancewear, we have a wide selection of dance shoes for children and adults–including ballroom shoes for both women and men–leotards, dance shorts & skirts, dance tights and other dance apparel for children and adults, from beginners to the more experienced dancer. Our dance accessories include pointe shoe necessities, hair fundamentals, warm-ups, dance-themed street wear and dance bags for all ages.
Looking for pointe shoes? We have a wide in-stock inventory of pointe shoes with expertly-trained fitters at both of our locations to insure the best fitting available. We ask that you request a Pointe Shoe Fitting appointment by contacting us at our Centreville location at 703.815.3205 or at our Downtown Charlottesville location at 434.971.6888.
We owe our continued success to you. THANKS!

Supporting Our Local Communities
We believe strongly in the importance of staying connected with and supporting our local communities. We communicate frequently with local studios and organizations to be sure we can provide for their requirements. To help support the local arts, the Dance Shoppe offers group discounts for schools and theatre groups to help them lessen their costs, in addition to our individual Rewards Program that helps our customers save money every time they shop. The Dance Shoppe can even bring our store to any studio or organization, thereby helping our customers save money on travel expenses. We also offer dance teachers a discount as a thank you for all they do to promote and preserve the art of dance. Outside the arts, we offer a military discount as a thank you for anyone that has served our country, we support local schools through gifts for their fundraisers, hold canned food drives for local shelters and food banks, and co-ordinate a local drop-off for Toy’s For Tots.
Supporting The World Dance Community
We are proud supporting members of Traveling Tutus, Inc, helping to bring the gift of dance to children that could otherwise not afford the opportunity. We collect and donate new and gently used dance attire & shoes that are distributed to children in need around the world. Join us to help instill confidence, facilitate self-expression and spread joy through the gift of dance!
