Although we carry a limited assortment of dance supplies at our three locations, we recommend The Theatrical Shop at 145-5th Street in Valley Junction, West Des Moines, for all types of dancewear, costumes, novelties, make-up, and so much more.

As a special service, especially to those new to our studios, we have created several "starter sets" to help you know what dancewear guidelines to follow in making your purchases.
