We carry leotards, tights, white beginner taps, and pink ballets at our Windsor Heights and South Des Moines locations. We also have dance skirts and our great line of custom-printed apparel. For most young students, we'll have what you need to get started.
For a complete line of dancewear, we recommend The Theatrical Shop at 145-5th Street in Valley Junction, West Des Moines. They have almost anything the beginner or advanced dancer needs in dance shoes, dance garments, and accessories, as well as costumes for rent and for sale, novelties, make-up, hats, fabric, trim, rhinestones, and so much more.
