Kind Words

“My daughter had such an incredible experience with her pointe shoe fitting today. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and when we got in the car she was so thankful to have that experience with someone who cares about how pointe shoes fit and the comfort. Highly recommend going to Mark's for all your dance needs!”

“The very best place to get pointe shoes! They are amazing at protecting your dancer's feet, knees, body, etc. A pointe shoe fitting at Mark's is like watching Harry Potter get his wand — really! They put numerous styles of shoes on the kids, over and over, until they find the perfect fit. THE BEST.”

"I got my first pair of ballet and jazz shoes here for some adult dance classes I'm taking, and had a great experience! I had a few random questions about dance shoes in general and got great answers- informative, genuine, and not annoyed at all that some of the questions were unrelated! The staff was very friendly and made sure that I walked away with a pair of safe, comfortable shoes. I will be letting my professor know to add this to her list of suggestions for where to get dance shoes!"
