There seems to be a perception that buying your ballet and tap shoes at a retail dancewear store means you have to spend more money. The table below clearly shows that you spend ONE DOLLAR more at Backstage for ballet shoes as compared to the most popular discount store ... and you get much more than ONE DOLLAR in quality and fit!

With tap shoes, you spend $3 more ...and get excelent taps as opposed to the very thin taps provided on the discount versions (see photo).

the difference in taps and the sewn-in elastic

In addition to our well-priced shoes, we have excellent quality leotards starting at $15.99 and tights starting at $7.99. We would love to fit your little dancer in high quality, well-priced shoes and apparel!
