*If dancer has been fit by Alena, has been on pointe for at least 2 years, we will allow requests to ship shoes and will modify/customize after having you send over a few pictures. Dancers must be seen in person at least every 6 months for this to be approved by Alena. Otherwise, she will ask that the dancer come in for a fitting to ensure shoes are still well fitted and safe. This policy is intended to keep dancers safe and our standard of care and attention to detail in what we do will not be compromised, so please plan accordingly! Shipping requests can be made over the phone or sent in through email to alena@dancethisway.com. Please note, we often are able to get shoes out same day, but in some cases, we will need a day or two to customize shoes and ship. Alena & Lizzy are in Tues, Thur, Fri, and Sat. Those are the days that customizations are able to be done!
Whether you need one pair or twelve...or twenty(!) pairs, please help us ensure you have shoes for your summer intensives by getting on the list! Shoes are hard to get this year...oh wait, they kind of are every year!! Additionally, we are lucky enough to say that we take care of A LOT of dancers and while I attempt to remember everything, having two little girls at home to take care of means "mommy brain" is in full swing :)
Don't worry if you don't have all the perfect answers and if you need help with determining how many pairs and such, just note that at the bottom of the form. This is just to put you on the radar and I'll handle ensuring that the specifics are exactly that!

Our Pointe Shoe Loyalty Program...and all the things to make shoes last longer
Thank you for shopping local and entrusting us with the fitting and customizations of your pointe shoes! Buying shoes from our store makes a huge difference and with loyalty, we will be able to stick around!
Please know that we will always keep our prices as low as possible and will continue to automatically sign customers up for the loyalty programs we offer. This information is tracked through the customer profile (or family profile if more than one dancer).
For every 5 pairs of pointe shoes purchased, customers will see their next pair discounted heavily--and this will always be the case...no gimmicks, no codes, just a happy surprise at checkout.
In addition, you will notice that we always will provide the reccomendations for customizations to be done to extend the lifespan of the shoes. We charge minimal fees for these services and generally, encourage the dancers to begin doing many of these things on their own after the first pair. We do tend to do a few in house (like tacking!), as it is easy to mess up. But gluing, sewing, shellacing, darning, and even restringing, we try to empower the dancer and educate along the way... so dancers are happy, shoes are lasting, and the bill doesn't scare anyone away! With that said, we are happy to do everything each time if that is what is desired!
Please feel free to ask any questions along the way. We are genuinely of the mindset that information should be passed along to the next generation of dancers... but also, we've made all the mistakes along the way, so we want to take the financial pain out of those mistakes for you and your family :) We get it though, this is really expensive. And we are always going to stay humble to that reality.
*We also happily provide a discount to military families (please bring military ID card to set up discounted account).
*Dance instructors and studio directors/owners are also provided a discount after providing their credentials.
