Let's Dance! is a friendly dancewear shop in Welwyn Garden City, supplying shoes and kit for dancers of every age and stage. It is a fitting-and-buying destination rather than a teaching studio, and a common first stop for parents buying a child's first ballet or pointe shoes, or adults picking up tap shoes for a new hobby. Complete beginners in particular tend to leave feeling more confident about what they have bought.
The warmth of the staff comes through strongly in what customers say, with several describing the advice as invaluable and the atmosphere as genuinely cheering. One first-time tap dancer valued having the pros and cons of each shoe explained without any pressure, while others return repeatedly because the range rarely lets them down. It reads as a small shop where people feel remembered.
As a retailer rather than a school, Let's Dance supports dancers heading off to all sorts of sessions, from children's ballet to adult dance classes in Welwyn Garden City. If you have signed up for a beginner course and are not sure what footwear you need, the fitting service takes the guesswork out of it. Getting the right shoes before your first class means one less thing to worry about when you arrive.
It is worth knowing which style you are shopping for, since ballet, tap and pointe shoes each fit differently and suit different stages. Bring appropriate socks or tights so shoes can be tried on correctly, and leave time for a proper fitting rather than a quick grab. Beginners are welcome and never expected to know it all.
The shop is based in Welwyn Garden City and is a straightforward destination for dancers from the surrounding Hertfordshire towns.
I am very pleased I chose Let’s Dance to purchase my Tap shoes.Caroline’s friendly help and advice was invaluable to me as a complete beginner.She took the time to explain the pros and cons of each type of shoe -the price range available and encouraged me to try different styles and sizes on.Her prices are very competitive and I feel confident that should I need to contact her in the future she would give me genuine advice.
I believe it always pays to shop local.
Thank you Caroline for a great shopping experience and I will be very happy to recommend you to others.👍

I couldn’t have had better service than that which I have received at Let’s Dance. The ladies are delightful, and never fail to make me laugh or cheer me up on even the hardest of days
Our experience is fun, entertaining and they fitted my daughter’s first pointe shoes perfectly.
They will never sell you something you don’t need and are always honest with their customers, having the highest morals.
Honestly, expertise, entertaining and high etiquette.
I wouldn’t shop anywhere else for Dance clothing or shoes. Ever.— Jane Evans
Super friendly and professional customer service and ballet shoe fitting. Been in here multiple times over the last 6 months and everytime the staff have exceeded any expectation and I have not yet found an item that I've needed that they didn't have! I wish I had found this shop when my eldest did dance and gymnastics. But I will 100% continue to shop here for my youngest. Thank you for being amazing ladies.— WILDatHeart81 UK
It is so good when you go somewhere and just have the best service. Cannot recommend more, very honest and knowledgeable assistant. She got me these absolutely amazing pair of salsa shoes, that were not only the comfiest but gorgeous. Just by looking at my feet she managed get the right fitting and the most appreciated thing she didn’t tried to up sale.— Juliana Bessa
Yes, many people begin on their own. Partner classes usually rotate everyone around the room, and solo styles such as ballet or tap need no partner at all.
Comfortable, flexible clothing and footwear suited to the style are all that is needed. A specialist shop can help you choose the right shoes if you are unsure.
Costs differ by style, teacher and area, so checking directly with the provider is the surest way to know. Group sessions tend to be much more affordable than one-to-one lessons.
There is no single answer, but ballet basics, ballroom and salsa are all common starting points. Choose the style whose music and movement you enjoy most.
Adults often begin with ballroom, salsa or an adult ballet class, all of which welcome newcomers. The best choice is simply the one you will look forward to each week.
Gentle dancing can be part of an active lifestyle for many people, but anyone with a heart condition should speak to their doctor before starting. Medical advice should always come first.
