- Started around 1969 out of a hot-pink former mail truck
Dance Box started with founder Russ Duncan driving dance supplies around in a hot-pink former mail truck, around 1969. Then he sold out of the family home, opened a permanent store in Coquitlam in the late 1970s, and added this downtown Langley shop not long after. Erin owns it now, and it’s still a dancewear specialist through and through.
Pointe shoes
Pointe-shoe fitting is what Dance Box is best known for. Fittings are booked separately so the fitter can take their time, and that’s what reviewers mention most: patience, knowing what they’re doing, and getting it right. If you have a dancer going up onto pointe, book a fitting rather than just walking in.
Everything else on the racks
- Ballet and jazz shoes, plus other dance styles
- Leotards for kids and adults, and children’s ballet dresses
- Royal Academy of Dance uniform pieces
- Gymnastics leotards, tights, warm-ups and dance bags
Prices aren’t posted online; the shop asks you to come in for the full range.
