★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I was nervous to even walk in bc I haven't danced in ages. The ladies here made things quick and easy and my new shoes were great for my first class, excited to go back and buy my tights! 🥰
May 02 · Lauren KingHad such a positive experience shopping for my toddlers tap/ballet clothes and shoes. Such a helpful staff. Was in and out with everything we needed in under 30 minutes
August 01 · Brenna VaughnIf I could zero stars I would. The whole time we were trying on shoes my children were saying too small too tight. The lady and fellow here insisted it needs to fit like this their feet should be tight in the shoe etc etc. We get to class against mt better judgement, and 2 mins into class their shoes are off and they’re crying. So we come right back and spend another $60 on top of the $90 for a pair of shoes since they can’t exchange when the shoes have left the building even if not worn. Yall suck. Honestly. Stop trying shoes on peoples children when you have no idea what you’re doing. Rip off. Shop somewhere more personable, preferably in Lexington.
May 16 · Just KieshPicked up some jazz shoes for the little girl. The woman helping us seemed to know what she was doing and was friendly.
August 11 · Kevin MillsAlways kind, knowledgeable, and helpful! We love Turning Pointe!
