Attitude is the best dance store around (and we've tried them all)! They have an amazing variety of pointe shoes and Kristin and her staff are so knowledgeable about point shoe fitting. We recommend them to our students (especially for those starting pointe work for the first time). We also love their beautiful store and gorgeous selection of leotards and dancewear. The store is a bit far for us but so worth the drive. They are also easy to work with over the phone and online. We LOVE Attitude!

Attitude is our favorite dance store! The owner is the most wonderful person. She makes you feel like every time you step in the door you are the only person in the store. She goes out of her way to personalize your visit and stock the store with everything your young dancer could ever need. We are huge fans and are so grateful to have Kristin and her store near by!

We drive over 45 minutes to this store because they are just the best pointe shoe fitters ever! My daughter has very difficult to fit feet but Kristin is the only one who has found her a pointe shoe that works. They spend the time to fit accurately and have an impressive knowledge of what a dancer needs in her pointe shoes. Attitude stocks a ton of pointe shoes in so many sizes and widths. We had an emergency where we needed a back-ordered pointe shoe asap, Kristen found us a retailer elsewhere who had it immediately available for shipping. Wonderful polite staff and a wide variety of dance gear. A true gem of a store that we will always support.

This is the ONLY store my daughter will go to for pointe shoes. Outstanding customer service , beautiful store and all the staff are so accommodating. Kristin truly cares about each dancer and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients leave satisfied.

Kristin and her team are one of a kind. Always willing to find what you need, emergency sew new shoes, offer expert advice (yes, krazy glue works in a pinch!) and as a delicious bonus, knows how to talk anxious dance moms off ledges as Kristin has for us for over a decade. xoxo

Kristin is the best! I traveled from out of state for a pointe fitting and she was so kind and helpful! We tried a million combinations of pointe shoes and padding until we arrived at the best possible fit. The store is so pretty too and they have such a great rotating stock of leotards and dance wear! I always check their website when they have new drops. I also love their custom t shirt designs and have gotten a ton of compliments on the one I have! The staff is all so friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to be back!

After bad experiences at other stores we were thrilled to find Attitudes Dance and Active wear. Every employee we worked with has been competent, friendly and went out of their way to help my granddaughter find the perfect point shoes for her. Even though we traveled an hour and a half to get there it has been well worth the trips. The selection of stock is unbelievable and we are customers for life.

Fantastic service and unparalleled expertise. We drive close to an hour to have our daughters' pointe shoe fittings done with Kristin. She is not only knowledgeable, but she centers the dancer's safety during fittings. Aside from that our dancers' journey to finding "their shoe" was very spotty until we came to Attitude for a fitting. The staff is kind, patient, and efficient. I'd be remised if I failed to mention that the selection and availability of brands is amongst the best in the state of CT.

Attitude is simply the best! Kristin got us in pointe shoes that allowed my daughter to get over her box for the 1st time. We had visited several other shops with experienced fitters that could not successfully achieve what Kristin did. My daughter was giving up on being on pointe and then !voila! Kristin made it possible for her to dance on pointe properly. The next Nutcracker season my daughter was cast as Clara! This would not have happened with out the love and care from Kristin, and Rebecca. Thank you!!

We drive an hour and a half every time we need new ballet shoes because Kristin is a master at fitting. She knows at a glance when something isn’t perfect and we always know we can count on leaving with the best shoe and the perfect fit.

The care and attention Kristin gave to fitting my daughter’s very first pointe shoes to now her fourth pair has remained exceptional. The knowledge and expertise makes the process so much easier and we truly appreciate the time and care she takes to ensure that it’s the right fit. Attitude team has been very kind and patient in expediting pointe shoe sewing service as well, when needed. Attitude has wide range of well stocked items and our experience has been positive when ordering a specific item too- we were well informed when a back order was going to be available. Kristin and team, Thank you for providing an excellent shopping experience.

Kristin and her staff are so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Pointe shoe fittings above and beyond- taking their time to find just the right shoe for you and making sure you feel comfortable. On top of the great service, the selection of merchandise and dance apparel is unparalleled... and they gift wrap beautifully if need be! I will never shop anywhere else for all things dance.
