Dancewear Essentials opened in 2007 when we saw a need to provide a service to fit dancers well and provide them with quality Dance Shoes, Dancewear, Uniforms, Costumes, and Accessories.  We have been serving the Bay of Plenty Dance Community and beyond for over 15 years.  We are still a small family business that go that extra mile to help dancers out and we want to thank our loyal customers who continue to support local.  

We stock an excellent range of shoes, apparel and accessories for dancers and look forward to assisting you with friendly, professional advice.  We provide an excellent service of fitting dance shoes correctly and import quality Leading Brands.  We have Eftpos facilities in store and accept Visa and Mastercard.     

With over 25 years of ballet and dance teaching experience we aim to provide you with everything a dancer could need, whether you are a professional, amateur, baby ballerina or a teacher.  

We are very interested in your feedback, so please let us know if there are any items you would like us to stock and we will do our best to source them for you.  If you have any queries about your order, our products and services or would generally like further information please reach out to us. 

We have a lot of quality products in store that are not online such as Bloch, PW Dancewear, Capezio, Columbine, etc.  We have selected items that we believe dancers will like and are increasing our product range continually.  However, there are so many combinations of colours, styles and sizes, it is impossible to stock them all.  If you would like an item in a different size, style or colour contact us and we will do our best to help.
