Discount Dance Supply vs Natural Spin Dancewear

Continued from above...

Finding exactly what you're looking for can be a challenge when shopping locally. Most big-box retailers carry an extremely limited selection of brands and sizes, typically only basic leotards and tights for children and even then, on the smaller end of the size range. Specialty Dancewear stores usually have a better selection of both training and performance apparel and shoes, but outside of major metropolitan areas there may not be a retailer nearby.

For this reason, many dancers and their parents shop online for Dancewear. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can easily find the brands, sizes, styles and colors you're looking for, without the hassle of driving all over town hoping that stores will have it in stock. And, as an added benefit, the prices are often lower than what you'll see at a brick-and-mortar retailer, because the business doesn't have the added expense of maintaining a physical storefront.

As you consider the different online stores that offer Dancewear, here are a few ways to evaluate each retailer:

• Variety of Dancewear. Does the store carry everything you need for your type of dance (such as leotards, tights, tutus, and pointe shoes for ballet; hip scarves, skirts and pants for belly dance, and so on)? Can you get what you need for both training and performance? Is there a wide selection of brands/manufacturers?
• Product Availability. Are most items listed as in stock? Will you be able to get all of the components of your costume or rehearsal clothing?
• Price. How do the retailer's prices compare with other online stores and with what you might be able to find locally? Are there any discounts or free shipping offers that can make your purchase even more affordable?
• Return Policy. If the shoe doesn't fit, will you have to wear it? In other words, will you be able to return items if they don't meet your needs? Does the policy require items to be completely unworn and unused?
• Reputation. Does the business have a strong reputation for attention to customer service and for selling well-constructed Dancewear? What do customers say about their overall experience with the retailer? Is the company rated and/or accredited by the Better Business Bureau?
