The staff is very helpful and willing to help! i was a very experience to find the perfect leotards!

Amazing shop, tons of selection. My girls left happy with unique Leo’s and adorable dance bag and bun wraps! Super helpful and friendly staff.

Carlene was a wonderful helper to find my shoes!! A lot patience with this fitting process.. Also Bri is a stunning person a lots of care!! So much love inside of this store!!

Meticulous Ponte Shoe fitting by Arial. The best fitting my daughter has ever had!

Excellent customer service. Best experience buying pointe shoes for 13yr old daughter ever. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend. Great little gem of a dance store, worth the trip. Highly knowledge staff! Jordan knew exactly what we needed and was super nice!

Ariel was wonderful! I had a fantastic experience getting fitted with pointe shoes and loved my time at on stage and will return!

Love going to Onstage for all my dance necessities. The staff is so kind especially Jordan who helped me pick out the best leotards and was so knowledgeable with pointe shoes! Would highly recommend Jordan for your next pointe shoe fitting.

They were amazing with the shoe fitting, an lovely staff. It helped me a lot! 🥰❤️❤️

If you want the best selection of dancewear in NYC, this is the place to come to. If you are looking for the best and most professional pointe shoe fittings, this is the only place to be. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, service is impeccable.You won’t find the selection of dance gear like this anywhere else in the city.

The store has so much to choose from, and Bri was very nice and helpful.

I started shopping at On Stage in 2008. I am beyond thrilled that the pandemic didnt close this particular small business forever. I happened to be in the neighborhood yesterday and hoped that it would still be there, and thankfully it is! Ronnie is the best. Hands down. He and his staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. If you need any kind of dancewear, just go to On Stage. Everything you may need, hes got. Even if youre not a dancer yourself, hes got gifts for the dancer(s) in your life. Trust me, give On Stage a visit.

Brie was the best. Knows her stuff and very professional

Came in from LI to get fitted for pointe shoes today, and it was 100% worth it. We had an appointment set up and Jordyn helped us. We walked in and he was ready on time, he explained the whole process, built my daughters confidence, gave her tips of the trade and understood all the nuances of fitting her for her first pointe shoes to make them comfortable. We may have tried 9 shoes before finding the right ones, but never once did Jordyn rush us or treat my daughter like this was anything other than the right way to patiently fit a slipper.After we stayed 30 more minutes trying on leos, while they helped us find sizes and fits within her desires. To say it was a pleasant experience is an understatement. The whole train ride home, all my daughter could talk about was how nice they all were.

Great place to shop for ballet shoes, tights and Latin shoes. Ezra always helps me and is very knowledgeable with dark skin tone dance products. Wonderful personality. Thank you Ezra, youre awesome

Been coming here for years and years! Ronnie is a gem for our city stocking the best in dance wear, plus! I buy different style leotards here several times a year for regular day wear, bathing suits for summer. Need to be sure and support small businesses like this in our beloved city - these are what make NYC special!

I’ve been coming here for 20 years— excellent service and options. They’ve always had exactly what I’m looking for in stock. I can’t think of shopping anywhere else for myself or my kids.

Great customer service, Itsy & Georgia are so welcoming and helpful. This shoe store is a real gem. They have great selection of shoes and leotards. I highly recommend this place!!

Bri was helpful thank you!

Good store to search for a variety of different brands. Disappointing that they dont have freed pointe shoes in store (they will order for you but I can just order from freed at that point).

The worst customer service over the phone.

Really professional and so helpful. I love it there.

Love this store and the Sales Associate was fabulous!!! She helped me with my new Capezio canvas/stretch ballet slippers. Very knowledgeable and patient.

I found everything I needed here.

Knowledgeable, personable staff; a plethora of options; most, if not all major brands. Would recommend 100%!

We came to NYC for my daughter to have a proper fitting and wow, totally worth the trip. Staff, especially Kat, is amazing. Kat is a pro, patient, and spent over an hour and more than 20 pairs of shoes to ensure we found the ones. I highly recommend On Stage and my new favorite reason to come to NYC.

I had such a wonderful time at this gem of a dance store. The staff were absolutely incredible: super knowledgeable, helpful, patient, personable (huge shout-out to Kat! [Cat? Sp?]). Every single person was eager to help (and in a non-abtrusive way, which is just awesome), and they even took the time to answer questions I had about reputable classes to take in the city. When they didn’t have my size in dance sneaker, they offered to call me as soon as they came in, which was much appreciated.My only wish would be for a larger selection of men’s dancewear (they carry an impressive number of brands throughout the store, which is fantastic, but the overall number of men’s pieces was limited). It’s not uncommon for men’s selections to be limited like that, but I can guarantee we’d collectively appreciate more options than the traditional white shirt and black tights. That coupled with the amazing staff would make this store THE ideal spot.Thank you everyone at On Stage Dancewear once again for being so special and putting my mood on the right track!

Great experience

Best dancewear store around...hands down. From the moment I walked in there were multiple associates that came and helped me. I was also able to find a pair of jazz shoes at a great price. Will definitely be doing business with them again in the near future!

Love the staff. Visited the store to have my daughter do a fitting for pointe shoes. Cat is a gem;. very detailed, professional and experienced. She made our experience so pleasant. She is so awesome. Especially, since we travelled from the Caribbean and were unsure where to go. I highly recommend On Stage Dancewear.Michelle E - Barbados

Good se5vice. And selection of fancy er wer. My favorite go to... 👍😊

It is a super small store - you might miss it if you walk up the block too fast! But the staff is very nice and helpful! Most importantly, they sell items from all major dance brands so if you dont have a preferred brand yet, its good to go there because they can help you find your perfect fit.

Jessie is AMAZING! She was super patient with me and although my feet are hard to find the right pointe shoes for, she made it! My teacher recommended her to me and I am so so glad I went there to have a fitting with her. I was coming from a completely wrong pointe shoes fitting experience and I was so worried about everything, but she was really really nice and helpful. Totally recommended!

I recently ordered a pair of Bloch Jason Samuels Smith tap shoes in white from this store, and to my surprise when they arrived in the mail, the shoes were not brand new as advertised on the website, but slightly worn, probably once or twice. I immediately noticed the wrinkles in the white leather and a few light scuffs. However, I was satisfied with the decent discount ($159.95, which is over $30 below retail) and I was happy to find these in my size because Bloch is completely sold out of sizes 5 through 9.5. They were also shipped very quickly. All in all, I am happy with my shoes considering the price I got them at, but I just wish I had known prior to buying them that they were slightly used. Neither the website nor the salesperson I spoke to on the phone let me know this information.

Wonderful store! Lots of product and options. I believe Ezra helped us today, and he took great care of all the tap shoe dramatics. I ended up with great shoes (jazz and tap) at a great price, along with some other nice findsz. The sale rack had some great clothes, too!I’m a Dance professional and teacher and therefore I really need good shoes for the right price.I would definitely recommend 10/10

I have been coming to On Stage Dance Wear since I can remember for all of my dance needs. They have superior customer service that beats all of the flagship dance stores in nyc and surpasses many stores in general. They are a great place to buy almost anything that is related to dancing from cute water bottles to tap shoes. If you have a steps on Broadway card, you get 15% off of your purchase! When abroad, I order from on stage dance wear and have it shipped, their prices are that good. I will continue to come here for all of my dance needs as long as I continue to dance! Thank you onstage dance wear!

Its capezio so prices are what they are..but they do have a clearance rack where i got a leotard for $5.00! And customer service is really good. They are knowledgeable in dancewear and sizing.

Quite a busy place with lots of products to choose from but the space is tight so everyone is bumping into each other. The checkout process is not efficient, theyre still doing carbon paper receipts. Im sure they can afford to upgrade their system and process customers quickly. But you get what you want so happy shopping!

Went here after a bad experience at Sans*a. My goodness, the staff (she was a wonderful Australian lady) was SO incredibly kind, patient, helpful, and I got the best deal for my character shoes. The lady was so kind to also recommend me great places for drama references. My experience here totally made my day, and probably also my week.

I love this place! They have so much stuff in such a tiny place and the staff is very friendly. A girl named Laura helped me find ballet shoes better than I could have imagined. She was very patient and energetic. I will definitely come back here for future dance needs!

Fantastic customer service! The staff always do their very best to help the customers and provide them with the best quality products. Every fitting I’ve had has been very personalized and has always benefitted by dancing. It’s always a joy to come to OnStage!

This place is great! From the outside, it looks pretty small. But looks can be deceiving... I walked in not too long before they closed and was pleased to see there was a ton of employees there to assist. I think there were 4-5. Impressive! Everything was clustered by color and type (long sleeved leotard, short-sleeved, etc.) and the employees were very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend! Just wish the sale section was larger (as is always the case...)

They really know their stuff! We were able to walk in and get a pointe shoe fitting, and they were finally a great-fitting pair of shoes!

Excellent place for newbies to buy dance shoes. Arial picked the perfect pair of ballet shoes for me with just one look at my feet! It was incredible. They have a good selection of brands to fit all different feet. I highly recommend this place if youre looking for the perfect fit!

What a great store!!! There is a ton of merchandise all around you when you walk in the door. Also a lot of help in the store which was great for me because I need it. I got everything I needed for my new dance class and I learned a lot between the different styles of merchandise. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. This is the place to go for your dance apparel.

Amazing and friendly service. I had purchased a gift certificate for my gf to pick up a pair of professional dance shoes. When she came in she found her feet to be between sizes and was suggested to pick the smaller pair for utility purposes (as the fit for such shoes is hugely important). She took a class and realized that the shoes were way to small. I came back and explained the situation and that I had lost the box in the move but had the online receipt. The friendly manager there, Ronnie, was very sympathetic and made the exchange quick and painless. Again wonderful customer service.

On stage is easy to find and I got a warm welcome as soon as I came in. Arial was highly experience on body wear and footwear. She helped me find a flattering fits. With her help I have more confidence for my first ballet class in 15 years!

I was very pleased with the service at this store. I looked at many shoes and The sales person was kind and answered my questions. Prices were the same as from the original manufacturers of the product so I dont have to shop around which is great. Will definitely return for future purchases!

Jordan the sales associate is great!!! He greets as soon as you walk in and was haply serves. Found everything I needed (and more) not to mention FIT students get %10 off discounts! Oh and the owner is nice to! Go here!!! For allllll of your dance needs!

Super knowledgeable staff who take their time with things that are important, like pointe shoe fittings. The store is packed with merchandise and they have practically everything a dancer needs ... or wants!

I feel I could travel the world and find no finer a serves. I traveled from Scotland and was very thrilled with the attention my feet received. They produced shoe after shoe to find the right fit. They insisted on no less. They told me several times to stop apologizing for all the work I was putting them to. Not easy when you are a UK 8, Euro 42, American 10/11.Their service was not with a sale primarily in view, it was to get a pair of shoes that I was COMPLETELY happy with.The service was something you imagine from a past era. It was the level of service you would wish if you were taking your child for their very first pair of walking shoes.Their stock is not massive but they kept producing shoes that were not on display based on listening to me.Would I go back YES. Next January 2nd 2016 I will return. I will not buy anywhere in between times thats how good they were.There shoes were much less than we would pay in the UK which was a bonus point in my view. The small front store is easy to find. They are one of the few long standing stores left in the ever changing commercial Manhattan scene. I hope they can withstand the trend of people wanting quantity and not quality Louise

Sales associate was helpful. Prices are decent! Will be back.

This is the best dance store in NYC! I found everything I need for my big audition and more! They have more brands that I can remember, a huge inventory, and everything from leotards to wellness items.Their staff is super sweet, really helpful and very knowledgable with what I needed. Hands down my favorite place to shop! Very satisfied customer and highly recommended!

Staff was knowledgable and helpful. They were able to work with my budget and helped me select a quality pair of practice shoes that would do what I needed them to do. Space is very tight inside, and it can get a little hectic, but they pack a surprising amount of inventory in there.

Bought a pair of $50 jazz sneakers then saw on Bloc’s website they were $30.00! No refunds, of course. Duly noted that I might as well go straight to the manufacturer.

I come to On Stage for a lot of my dance wear. Everytime I visit, I am left completely satisfied. The customer service is stellar, especially Kat! She is patient and ensures that you get exactly what you need without rushing you out of the store. I recommend this location for all dance wear needs and make sure you ask for Kat!

I went to the store to get my little princess her first pointe shoes and I was so amazed how friendly everyone was but most of all the attention they gave my daughter. CANDY IS THE BEST SHE TOOK HER TIME WITH MY DAUGHTER . I NEVER WENT INTO A STORE AND RECEIVED THE ATTENTION CANDY GAVE US . CANDY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!

Great selection of pointe shoes and the store was very organized and clean. Easy to find what you need. But the best part was the amazing staff and Kat in particular! Her knowledge on the subject was impressive and I really felt the whole team was committed to helping me find the best pair of shoes for my feet. I would 110% recommend you go here for a pointe shoe fitting!

Great experience, great selections. Arial was extremely helpful on the phone and Itzee guided me to my new Bloch tap shoes, the best out there. Extreme patience while I made my decisions. So nice to patronize a family owned business. I’ll be back. Thank you so much!!

This place is a fun place to shop for dance wear. Very helpful sales staff. Lots of selections too. Happy shopping and keep on dancing!

Beautiful selection of dance wear, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ronnie is the best! Even if you dont dance, come here to get some lambs wool to make any pair of shoes more comfortable!

Its a good store for dancewear but mostly for ballet and modern dance. Few shoes. Not cheap but a lot of decent stuff. People are helpful but not annoying.

It was superb being at the on stage dance store.... Great stuff for male dancers ... Ronny at the the store was super helpful .. I came to buy one Jazz pant and went back with six Of them.. Two shoes and even A body suit... I so loon forward to coimg back to this store during my next visit to NYC.

On stage is the best if you are looking for any kind of dance wear! I totally recommend coming her to get your dance clothes! All the staff is very enthusiastic and energetic and so helpful! I will absolutely come back to on stage!

The staff was helpful with helping me get the right tights for my daughter.

I went to get fitted for pointe shoes- my first pair- and they were extremely helpful and kind. they had exactly what i needed and made me comfortable trying on the shoes. will definitely come back!

On Stage Dancewear is right in my neighborhood but I never checked them out before. Never knew this tiny storefront had so many shoes in stock to offer. I needed a pair of dance shoes so I thought Id check them out. I was approached by Arial Stafford who made my hunt for dance shoes delightful. She knew which would be the best fit for me and was so attentive to my needs.

Great selection and friendly staff, definitely would recommend for pointe shoes!

I left the store so upset. My daughter was upset. Yes, I arrived at 6:30 pm . But I was really needed point shoes that day. But stuff said the time is over. I came from Brooklyn. Waste time and money for the parking to hear what time is over.

The store is very organized, theres a lot of products and options. Staff is really friendly and helpful. I loved it!

My tap teacher suggested I come to the store to buy new shoes because they’re the only store in the city that sells multiple brands of tap shoes and they are nice - she really stressed this last part. And she was right! Arial took the time to walk me through different styles of shoes and different fits and I even bought a pair of ballroom dance shoes as well. I would highly recommend On Stage Dancewear if you’re in the market for shoes or other dance items.

Three stars for the great selection of leotards. Prices are on the higher end and offers no discount whatsoever to city dance schools. Junior staff were very friendly. Two stars off are for the very rude attitude of the old lady who works there. She has a lot of attitude and just ignored clients who needed help. She needs to learn how to talk to customers and gives good customer service. Im not sure why she acted so pissed when people are giving her business.

A fabulous experience. So helpful. Great prices. Lightning shipping. Couldnt be better!

This little place has more merchandise than you could imagine for such a small space! As a dancer in NYC, this is the first place I think of when I need anything dance related... leotards, shoes, costume pieces to complete a look, etc. I needed some white briefs for a costume, and they actually had a couple of choices for me (different brands & fabrics). With so many great things in this store, I was wishing I had an excuse to buy more! Everything is displayed nicely, you are greeted by a friendly employee, and prices are average (but they have discounts for various dance studios around the city.) A nice experience! Would definitely go again.

The staff were very helpful both on the telephone and when I arrived to make my purchase. Great experience and great inventory/selection.

Came with my wife. Appears to have really good service as I saw a young girl being fitted for her first ballet shoes.Shop seems well stocked with dancewear and accessories.

What a lovely dance store! I got my second pair of pointe shoes today. Arial B. was very helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks to her I found my perfect pair.

The staff here are wonderful, so helpful. We found two beautiful pairs of dance shoes, my mother cant stop cha-cha-ing around the house. Im coming back here for all my dance needs!

I buy online. Its fast and you dont have to deal with going to Midtown if you help it.

When my daughter first started pointe, I took her there. The lady that helped us (cat). She helped my daughter find the perfect brand for her. They even have a ballet bar to help they dancer learn how to go on pointe and how the shoe feels on the dancers feet. I told my daughters dance company and from now on, they send first time students to on stage.

Friendly, personal and professional service. A great old-fashioned shopping experience.

The employees know exactly what they were doing and I had a smooth session

Extremely polite, helpful and knowledgeable staff. The man who helped me knew exactly everything I was talking about that I looked at on the website and was able to find me something I loved.

All family-owned dance stores in NY should get 5 stars. 1) for knowledge, 2) for well-stocked with the things dancers need, 3) for having a discount program, 4) for taking the time and energy to serve you, order what they dont have, and a smile, and 5) for no brand allegiance-just great service and experience.

Will never order from them again. Website is misleading. Lied to me on multiple phone calls about issuing a refund. After 9 weeks, 5 phone calls, I finally have a refund. Never again

Great service. However, I ordered white shorts from them (didnt have any in the store) after being aggressively reassured that they wouldnt be see through - but they definitely are. And I cant return them.

I came in to find some mens dancewear (something that is surprisingly sparse in NYC), and was pleasantly surprised!Not only were the staff friendly and really helpful, I had a number of options with shirts and shoes (which is what I was looking for). They even offered to order a size in when they didnt have it in the store. I cannot get over how knowledgable the staff were, and clearly working together to make sure their customers were leaving happy.This is my first time shopping here, but it wont be the last!

I always buy my fishnets here. If you are part of a dance company theres a nice discount. Let then know and they will hook you up.

Came today for the first time. The staff was so nice and professional and helped me and my daughter to find what we needed for Tap and Jaz class. will come again.

Ive found all kinds of leotards, pointe shoes, Ballet slippers, and ballet clothes! You find everything you need and much more! The staff is amazing, I was treated so well, they were very kind and helpful! I got out of there really happy Ive found pointe shoes that were exactly perfect for my feet, the way I was treated and for the unique stuff Ive got! I strongly recommend this ballet dance wear!! I will come back for sure!

A really excellent store with a wide variety of choices and extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff. There are always various discounts to be had and youll find what you need and more, in all styles and brands. The preferred dance store in Manhattan if you asked me!

Ive now visited this place several times, the staff are super helpful, great selection of shoes and dancewear. Highly recommended!

Im not even a dancer (though I am in the theatre), but I always stop by On Stage when Im in the neighborhood, as I love their skirts - I own several mid-calf to ankle-length skirts Ive bought there - soft, flowing and very flattering. I have them in black, dark blue and brown.

My great nieces love this store for all sorts of dancewear! 👍👍👏

Great dance store. Wonderful service and large selection.

A great selection of dancewear, the staff are incredibly helpful and kind. Everytime I visit I always feel welcome and taken care of to the full extent.

My first few experience with this place wasn’t great, but my last visit here was much better!

Ive never danced in my life, and I signed up for tap dancing lessons and needed shoes. This place is relatively close to my apartment, and it looked like they had a decent selection. I was immediately greeted by Arial (yes, spelled like the font). She understood that I was a novice, asked about my feet, and strongly suggested a certain pair of tap shoes. The first pair fit very nicely, and Arial suggested I might try a half size down just to be sure, which fit even better. Never have I walked into a store knowing absolutely nothing about the product, and left shortly later with something that completely met my needs. Highly recommend On Stage.

Great for ballet equipment for kids. Reasonable prices.

Thw service was great and the people that work there were amazing. they addressed all of my concerns
