Transitioning to New Stewardship After 52 Years

After more than five decades in the dance community, Discount Dance is beginning an exciting new chapter. We are transitioning to new ownership and preparing to move to a new platform. As part of this transition and to maintain the integrity of our service channels, the Discount Dance website will pause taking new orders at this time.

All orders placed before 7am Pacific on 12/2 will be processed and shipped by 12/15.

From studios to stages, recitals to rehearsals, it has been our honor to support your dance journey. Thank you for dancing with us for the last 52 years. Your loyalty, passion, and artistry have meant everything to us, and will continue to inspire this next chapter.

CUSTOMERS SAY:
Reviewers praise Capezio Ava pointe shoes for comfort, fit, and preventing blisters. While they may wear out quickly, the tailored fit makes them worth it. Users recommend them for various foot types and find them durable and aesthetically pleasing. (Based on customer reviews.)
Arabesque like a professional in the Ava Pointe Shoe. This premium pointe shoe has a broad, feathered toe box and a combination, full 2.5" leather board and red board shank that offers flexibility to the arch. Features a high and wide platform for much needed balance at the barre. Removable medical grade gel cushion is placed on the internal edge of the platform for added comfort. Ideal for a broad (Roman) foot. Pro Tip: When attaching Bunheads ribbons and elastics to pointe shoes that have rose colored lining, a medium needle with a small eye works best.
Ribbons not included.

    How do sizes run compared to street shoes.?

    Manufacturer recommends you begin with street shoe size. Please be advised we cannot guarantee sizing or fit. It is recommended that you are professionally fitted for pointe shoes.
