“my first time to the store really good experience thanks to George and his team. Also, the alteration guy was very good. Picked my suit same day came for one suit and they're buying three very good price. Definitely coming back.”
“TL;DR:
Best dance store experience we’ve ever had. Incredibly kind, attentive, inclusive, beautifully curated, and 1000x better than buying online. This is our forever dance store.
Full review:
This was our second visit to The Dance Bag in Modesto, and I will never buy dance supplies online again. My daughter is in her second year of dancing, and every single time we’ve come in, we’ve felt genuinely welcomed and personally helped. No appointment, no rushing, no pressure. They take the time to properly fit her, explain things, and connect with her in a way that makes her feel comfortable and confident. They are truly exceptional with children, even very young ones.
The store itself is clean, beautifully organized, and thoughtfully laid out. They carry high-quality, trusted dance brands like Bloch and Capezio, and other styles and I was impressed with the variety of both narrow and wide foot shapes. I also just love the store’s overall vibe. Their gifts, trinkets, and accessories don’t feel like random add-ons or filler like most other stores but every item feels intentionally chosen and perfectly matched to the store’s clientele. It’s joyful, cohesive, and honestly just delightful to browse.
One thing that really matters to me is inclusivity as we are a mixed race family and to be frankly honest, ballet spaces in particular have not always felt welcoming or inclusive for me growing up in the dance world. But this store absolutely feels like a safe space for all. The ballerina dolls, ornaments, and stuffed animals reflect a range of skin tones and wasn’t just one narrow image of what a dancer looks like. That representation is noticed, felt, and deeply appreciated.
The Dance Bag is kind, inclusive, professional, and clearly run with heart. I’ll be coming here for as long as my daughter dances and we are in the area.”
“Stellar customer service. Went in just to see what they had and the guys were so friendly and non-pushy. Knew the shoes and understood what I was asking for. Left with more than I was after. Very pleasurable”
“I recently visited Shoes That Fit in McHenry Village (Modesto, California) to purchase my first pair of New Balance shoes for my plantar fasciitis. Erica was absolutely amazing! She gave me the best customer service I’ve ever experienced—not just at that store, but in McHenry Village overall.
She was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable about what I needed. She took the time to help me find the right fit and made sure I left with something that would truly support my feet. It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about helping customers, and Erica definitely made me feel valued and taken care of.
Thank you, Erica, for making my experience such a great one. I truly appreciate you!”
“These young ladies were not only patient, they kept reminding me that they wanted the rite shoes for me. I'm rude, straight to the point, and I don't like people! And these ladies were tough and straight forward and made sure I left with the right boots. I'll be coming back for a new pair of shoes.”
“On December 12, 2024, at 4:49 PM, I visited this establishment to purchase shoes for my father's birthday. The young man and woman assisting me were incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, I do not recall their names, which is why I have included the specific date and time of my visit.
My father is older and has difficulty putting on shoes. The two employees assisted me in finding the perfect pair for him. Their excellent service and attention to my needs were greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!”
“I don't buy shoes that often and I have very weird feet. So shoe shopping is a challenge and quite frankly something I don't enjoy. After ordering several pairs of shoes on line that were all returned I knew I had to venture out and do it in person. I went to Royal Robbin's in McHenry Village as they always had a good selection of shoes. But to my dismay they no longer carry shoes. I was disappointed but the very nice woman who worked there directed me to Becks. After visit a shoe store in McHenry Village and finding zero I drove a short distant down the street to Becks. I told the clerk there that the last time I bought shoes was from The Shoe Box at the mall and they went out of business several years ago. The service was just how I like it. No pressure take your time and look around. She then scanned my feet and recommended inserts that were ones I already have so I knew that she knew her busy. After trying on a few pairs I came out with the perfect pair. I will return.”
“Great place in Turlock, CA to buy all my work boots for my business Rapid Junk Removal CA, LLC. I got helped by Miranda and Dana wonderful ladies! They both provided great customer service. I bought a pair of Ariat work boots and some Heavy Duty Leather Preservative.”
“Vert clean and well organized. The associates who helped me, Lily and Jules, were so friendly and found exactly what I was looking for! The hospitality they gave with how welcome they made me feel made this a great shopping experience. Definitely my favorite store because of the awesome staff! location is convenient, right by the freeway, easy to find and has a nice parking lot.”
“Highly recommend! Owner is very kind, very knowledgeable about product and the shoe fit. I came in just looking for a new pair of work boots, ended up leaving with a pair and some oil. How could you not when you get attention and care like I got here. I will be back!”
“It's hard to be a good pair of Skechers. They have a great sale going on buy one pair and get the other for 50% off. I was able to get too long lasting pair of shoes for under $100”
“This is for me, the best place to buy shoes!The shoes are very high quality! The service is excellent! They really help you find shoes that fit just right, that look great, AND that are comfortable as well! I highly recommend them!them!!”
“I’ve been shopping here for over 10 years and I can’t believe I’ve never left a review. This store always has so much variety and all their employees are so quick to help. I love it!!!”
“Always having sales and the inventory is always up to date. Usually have lots of good clearance choices as well. I'm a size 12 and they always have my size.”
“Came in for some work boots, and left happy. A man who seemed to be the owner was patient and worked with me to find a pair that would suit me best. Definitely do not hesitate to go in for your next pair.”
“Always buy my Jordan's here, always have my size, always have good prices on shoes, always have a variety of clothing and shoes. Customer service always checks in on you, greats you, and there kind. I'd give this a five-star rating.”
