I had to order products out of state from Dance's. Great Service - Fair Prices - Timely Shipping.

Visiting my son in Dinwiddie, he had been telling me about a sporting goods shop he wanted to take me to, so we finally made it a point to go. Located in a strip mall, Dance's is unassuming from the outside, but they pack a lot into an overall surprisingly large space. My son was there to ask them to help replace a trigger on his AR-15, which they did free of charge. I walked around and looked at their offerings but kept being drawn to the handgun counter. Something unusual happened in this Petersburg gun store that evades gun stores in the NoVA area; the workers wanted to help me, and they were friendly while doing it. I was obviously not the only one who noticed this because this area was very well staffed and, even then, still had a patron per staff member most of the time I was there. I was interested in a subcompact for concealed carry and was able to hold all of the brands that I had researched. I finally settled on the one that felt best in my grip after asking to hold about 10 pistols.. I asked if they had a used one, and luckily, they did. A barely used model that knocked the price way down. Purchasing was very easy, and the background checks were rapid. I would not hesitate to return here for any firearm purchases, and for me, it is worth the drive to receive the type of service we did.

I had a great experience here, especially compared to some very specific, not-great experiences at other places in the past. I will preface this by saying that I am a 5' 4.5" lady who dresses like a Stepford Wife so my experience is pretty unique to my circumstances. The lady who helped me was beyond helpful. I was trying to pick out a new firearm, but I need something tiny and very lightweight due to how I conceal carry. She opened case after case to show me all of the lightweight and small ones she could think of, recommended some adorable new CCW handbags they had gotten in. I really liked that there are a variety of different people working here because it is a very different experience for a short woman shopping for what she considers a comfortable firearm, when I am being helped by a similarly-sized lady, versus in the past when I have gone places and been talked down to by a gentleman twice my size who can't understand why something that he finds comfortable will not fit in my hand or my evening clutch... It gets exhausting having them ask my husband if he is going to teach me how to hold a gun, or if he is okay with me getting one, and this has been the first time I have actually been helped by someone who understands that I can be retired military AND an expert marksman AND a lady. They have pretty good sales here too. And apparently fried bologna sandwiches too.

Great sporting goods store. They have a large selection of firearms in stock, as well as suppressors and a Silencer Shop kiosk. Excellent and fair priced FFL for transfers, including NFA items. Large selection of hunting and fishing equipment as well

Great place and good people. I got a great price on my gun and accessories. They got me in and put as fast as they could.

Needed a recalibration of my bow setup. Kevin walked me through the process and got me dialed in. Archery folks really know their stuff.

Not a bad place to buy a gun but they always say its a delay. Also, when it comes to pawing your firearm the young lady working the desk isn't very friendly.

Walked in with another person to look at handguns. Female employee spoked when we walked into the store. We had to go in the back where the handguns were located. There was one employee standing at the register and 3 at another counter a few feet away. We saw a firearm that I was interested in and asked the 3 employees for assistance and they disappeared with the quickness. SSwewwlefaskedemplobegrudgingly helped us.

They'll take your money for something on a hard to find item, only to then cancel it while you lost the opportunity to buy it from someone else. Buyer beware, very shady business practices.

Dance's is excellent. Customer service is great, pricing is fair, selection is fantastic. Kayla in archery was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to get my daughter, who had never drawn and fired a compound bow, set up and shooting straight. My daughter is pumped to get home and sling arrows!

1 Lonely Star… Store has a decent selection, but unfortunately the Gun Counter’s Service is atrocious. Most Gun Store counters are plagued with that one “God Complex Gun Guru” seeming to only be there to sell you the idea that they know everything. Customer Service even over the phone is Horrible… even calling to check on the status of an FFL transfer seems to be frowned upon. I own many firearms and I have never experienced a more unprofessional Gun Counter. 1 star never shopping there again.

Bad customer service . They showed the pistol in stock and told me they had it over the phone before I drove 73 miles there . I waited while they searched for over 15 minutes . They couldn’t find the pistol in their store . They didn’t know what happened to it is what they told me . The ATF might not like that very well , missing firearm .

My friends and I went into the snack bar Friday March 24 2023 around 8 30 am to eatbreakfast. My friend had showed us her husband gave her a 50.00 bill tobuy breakfast. Thegirl gave her change fir a 20.00. She didn't realize it till she got home and called them but the snack bar had closed. We went back in Monday morning at 8 15 am and the girl said her draw was not over? Its hard to believe that she received that many 50.00 dollar bills where as most people paid with a debt card. The 50.00 bill had also been torn! Needless to say she more or less was saying that Mt friend was lieing. I will not be going back to Dances again. I will also tell others more to go in. I'm very dissappointed in the integrity of people today.
