Danzia
- Shipping: Free Economy Shipping on orders of $25+
- Returns: Returns of unworn items in original packaging permitted within 30 days of purchase
Danzia began in California in 2011 and has grown to include more than 100 brands, serving over 20,000 dance/cheer/fitness groups in 50+ countries.
Their site makes it very easy to find what you need: check out the categories across the top of the page, which include Dance, Cheer, Activewear, Gymnastics, Shoes, Costumes, Brands, and Clearance. From there, you'll see dropdown boxes for everything included in those categories. Of course, like most sites, you can also enter what you're looking for directly in the search box at the top right corner of the page.
Danzia's prices for Dancewear are middle-of-the-pack: more expensive than some, less expensive than others when comparing the same item across multiple retailers. We did see a discount code at the top of the page when we visited, including 5% off orders of $75+ and 10% off orders of $200 or more. Danzia is also very active on social media and coupon codes are posted regularly. Shipping is free on all orders of at least $25.
Danzia also has two rewards programs that can help make buying Dancewear more affordable:
- Reward Program: once you've registered an account with Danzia, you can start earning rewards points. The points you earn depend on your total amount of purchases and each point can be redeemed like cash towards future purchases.
- Pointe Shoes: register an account with Danzia, and you'll automatically get 12% off your first pair, 15% off on pairs 2-10, and then 18% off on all pointe shoes purchases thereafter
Danzia also offers group discounts ranging from 5-10%, and teacher discounts that can be applied both to instructors and their students. You can find links to all of these rewards programs and discounts at the bottom of the site.
Unlike some of the Dancewear retailers we considered, Danzia doesn't charge a restocking fee on returns. You can return unworn items in their original packaging within 30 days of your purchase.
We weren't able to find a BBB listing for Danzia, so we considered customer reviews from across the web. We did see multiple complaints about items not being in stock, or that were originally marked as in-stock but then were mysteriously not once the customer went to order. There were also complaints about shipping being delayed multiple times even after placing an order for in-stock Dancewear. This could be problematic if you're ordering costumes for an upcoming performance. Also, there was no indication of how delays in shipping affect Danzia's 30-day return policy.
On the whole, Danzia offers a fantastic selection of Dancewear at competitive prices, and their rewards programs can make it even more affordable for repeat customers to shop there. However, we do strongly recommend you keep an eye on your order, given the number of shoppers who have had challenges with purchasing Dancewear that gets delayed or marked as out-of-stock.

The 7 Best Dancewear Stores
Who Sells the Best Dancewear?
Do you tap, tango, or tour jete? Whether you or your child's preferred form of expression is more traditional, like ballet or jazz, or tends to be more exotic like Bollywood or belly dance, having the right Dancewear is important.
Most Dancewear falls into two categories: everyday training and performance. Naturally, what dancers wear to the studio for practice and training - basic leotards and tights, plain shoes, and so forth - is quite different from what they use when they are performing in a show or competition.
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?
TopConsumerReviews.com has reviewed and ranked the best online retailers of Dancewear available today. We hope these reviews help you find the perfect tutu, tap shoes, tights, and more for your next dance class or performance!
