Brilliant value quality product. When I realised I’d got the wrong colour shorts, a quick exchange was done for me, a phone call to check the sizing as I’d also gone up a size, then really fast deli... See more

Purchased dance shoes but too small. Returned using the postage slip provided by this company but apparently delivered to the wrong address. Not our problem they said unwilling to do anything to help.... See more

Really great customer service

Really great customer service, easy and efficient from start to finish and shoes delivered (standard rate) within 3 days. All as advertised on the website. Will definitely be using again.

Avoid

Avoid. I’ve used Dancewear Central in the past without issue but after placing a recent order I have been waiting over a week for my items and while the money has been taken my items haven’t been received. I asked to cancel my order which they claimed couldn’t be done. I got most of my money back through PayPal in the end.

I've always ordered shoes and dancing…

I've always ordered shoes and dancing clothes since my girl started dancing from here but didn't realise how bad their customer service is, if you try to return. I paid recorded delivery over 2 weeks ago and still had no email or refund just an automatic response. I'm disgusted. They were the wrong size shoes so just wanted a refund not even an exchange but their communication is terrible and won't order again

It's just disappointing…

Have been looking for the So Danca vegan split sole dance shoes for a good while and found they were in stock here. I was delighted as it said they were 'in stock' and needed them for a show around 10 days later. They were actually not in stock at all, and I still don't have the shoes.

I have noticed on responses by the company that they say it's clear throughout the order process, but it clearly isn't as there are so many people complaining about it! It didn't become obvious to me until I'd already paid!

So, please Dancewear Central, make an adjustment to the buying process where it's crystal clear that the desired item isn't in stock and you actually have no idea when it will be! Very disappointing!

Really quick delivery every time.

Really quick delivery every time (I've placed 5 or 6 orders during the past year).
Also, very helpful and speedy service when I had to change an order shortly after placing it.

Great customer service, very impressed

Great customer service from the team, as soon as I had emailed they responded within the same day to set up my account. There has been stock for the products I've needed, the system is easy to navigate and good visually and I'm really impressed with the fast and easy delivery. Thank you for making this process painless and simple, (from a previously stressed dance teacher!)

This is the second time I’ve ordered…

I’ve just seen your reply to my review and have had another look at your confirmation email which says as follows:
“Thank you for your order, placed on 16 January 2023, 12:36. Your order number is 855299 (WEB855299), and the order status is "Payment Received".You will receive a further email when we have fulfilled your order and passed it over to our carriers to be delivered to you.

Under product details it says: “Usually despatched within 14 days”

There is no further email
from you advising that the product would not be shipped until May or June, some 6 months later.

Your customer service staff are very rude when you speak to them over the telephone. To say that’s how you’ve run your business for the last 10 years and that you’re never going to change is quite extraordinary, but if that’s your attitude then don’t expect repeat business. I’ve tried ordering from you twice now, with the same result, so I’m afraid I won’t be ordering from you again.
Best wishes.

This is the second time I’ve ordered something online and not received my items, with absolutely no explanation. When I called up to enquire about my latest order which I placed in January (so 4 weeks ago now) they said the earliest I would receive it would be April as it was out of stock. But they never thought to email me that information, although she said they had (they hadn’t, I’ve checked several times). Then they were surprised that I wasn’t prepared to wait that long and wanted a refund. Who buys dance wear in order to receive it 6 months later? They said the company has always operated that way for 10 years and was never going to change, so they think there’s nothing wrong with taking their customers’ money and not sending the goods, not advising them, and not refunding them. If you treat your customers badly they go elsewhere. I gave them a second chance before but never again. Let’s see now if they actually refund me.

Hello, thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear you are disappointed with your experience.
We appreciate that you were looking forward to receiving your goods swiftly and understand that you must feel frustrated.

The out of stock information is visible throughout the order process (at the point of ordering and in your order confirmation email) We find that the majority of our customers wish to pre-order particular brands & specific items due to uniform and fitting preferences, and would prefer to wait for the next delivery from the manufacturer should they not be available at the time; however we understand this is not the same for everyone. The delay on your specific item is significantly longer than usual lead times, which no doubt, has added to your disappointment.

Our procedure is to complete the refund whilst you are on the call or at the time of replying to the email, you should see this on your statement within 1-3 business days. We can confirm this if you can please email us at info@dancewearcentral.co.uk or call us on 0344 561 6664 with your web order number.

Best wishes,
The Dancewear Central Team

Hopeless website tried today at least…

Hopeless website tried today at least 10 times to order some ballet shoes for my Grandaughter. Entered everything correctly double and treble checked but kept saying *fields not filled in. Gave up in the end and ordered elsewhere! Gave one star as had to leave one but actually wouldn't have if I could.

Excellent customer service

Recommended by a friend, I ordered tap shoes, ballet shoes, tights and a ballet skirt for my daughter. Shoes and tights arrived promptly. Both pairs of shoes were excellent but the tights had a small snag which became a hole when my daughter put them on and the skirt turned out to be out of stock and due for delivery in two weeks. The reason I have still given 5 stars is that customer service was excellent. I emailed to detail the issues (couldn’t get online form to work so emailed instead), the skirt was refunded immediately and another pair of tights sent out, which arrived the next day and are absolutely fine. Slips can happen but it is how they are dealt with that matters. The items are well priced and good quality. We ordered the skirt elsewhere only because we needed it quickly.

Prices were the cheapest I found so saved myself quite a bit!
I was a little hesitant though after some of the other reviews as I needed my order for next week however I noticed what the replies where saying in regards to you can see what items are in stock and how many before you purchase. I was still not getting my hopes up with delivery time but all 5 items arrived today after 1 working day!!
I feel this company deserves some good feedback as I found it a pleasure to shop with :)

No.1 for quality

My little ones have been dancing for years, I've struggled to find good quality dance wear for them. The quality is amazing it washes well and hasn't worn thin which I'm super happy with! In fact I'd only purchase from here! I'm a very happy shopper!

Don't cry for me Argentina I will never leave the shop.

What do you think of Dancewear Cental?

Yesterday I ordered two items online, a ballerina cardigan and some leg warmers. Knowing that I needed the items in a hurry, I paid the premium rate delivery charge.
All was ok @ the check out and I expected to receive (M)y goods the following day, I was given no indication that there would be any delays.
Yesterday I received an email from the shop to advise due to COVID it might not be possible to deliver the goods on time, and that I would receive an email when the goods would be ready to be delivered.
So I waited (Lindiwe) guys, no message, I just phoned the shop today, and discovered that not only were the items not going to be delivered on time but that additionally one of the items that I ordered, online was out of stock. The Website when I ordered gave no indication that 1 day express service that I paid for was defunct and that the item I wanted to buy was out of stock. So total thumbs down.

Hello, thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear you are disappointed with your experience. The out of stock information was visible throughout the order process (at the point of ordering and in your order confirmation email) and all information with regards to the delivery options can be found in the delivery terms on our website. With regards to the possible delays on the Next Day delivery, this was provided on your email confirmation issued immediately after your purchase. If you had contacted us immediately at this point, we would have cancelled and refunded your order.

Will definitely be purchasing from Dancewear Central again

Recently purchased a pair of the capezio tele tone tap shoes and tanned character shoes for work. I've worn both pairs nearly everyday for the last month and they still look brand new. Great quality and price. Also super impressed with the delivery as they arrived in no time at all. Will definitely be purchasing from Dancewear Central again.
