The perfect gift is waiting too.

From Pre-Pointe to Professional

Pointe Shoe Fittings

Every fitting at Backstage is a private appointment with fitters whose experience runs deep: a former professional ballet dancer and a specialist with over a decade of fitting expertise. Every dancer receives the same care and leaves with the right shoe for her unique feet, your studio’s preferences honored, and a fit she can trust at the barre.

Testimonials – Backstage Dancewear

"I recently purchased a beautiful Bloch warm-up sweater and matching leg warmers from Backstage Dancewear. I live in Pennsylvania but my local store didn't have my size and neither did any of the well-known outlets, but Backstage Dancewear had it and shipped it quickly with no issues. Always appreciate a small business that's searchable online and willing to serve customers outside their area!"

Hillary M.

"Backstage Dancewear and Gifts has been a dancewear store that has supplied so many dancers with love and special care! I wholeheartedly thank all the staff for always being there for us to look so good and having proper fitting shoes while pursuing our passions!"

Beverly W.

"I have been a customer for decades. The store is the best in our area for dancewear, dance shoes and such cute gifts. Excellent service with a personal touch. It's nice to go in as a customer and be recognized by the owner and employees."

Roxanne G.

"This is hands-down the best spot to buy dancewear if you live in the League City, Friendswood, Clear Lake, or Kemah area! The staff is incredibly helpful and always makes sure you find exactly what you need. The merchandise is high-quality, and they carry a great variety of dance brands that are not only stylish but also durable. It has definitely become my go-to place for dancewear and I've even found the perfect gifts for my dancer here too!"

Ale G.

"We are new to the dance world and they were very helpful fitting my daughter for jazz and ballet shoes! We will definitely be back in the near future to purchase more items. Thank you for your excellent customer service!"
