Our Story
Discount Dance began as a small family-owned shop run by dance teacher and enthusiast Linda Hill and her children. Working beside their mom after school, Brian and Rhonda Hill watched and learned everything about dancing. The brother-sister duo continued to grow into their roles as chief operators of the company and began evolving their offerings to make dance apparel available to every dancer at every budget. Discount Dance was the first to publish a mail order catalog selling dancewear online and innovating fashion leotards. Today, Discount Dance is the largest online dancewear store in the world with ambassadors and models from the finest dance companies like New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theater, Alvin Ailey, Washington Ballet, Princess Grace Academy, The Rock School and many others. It is our shared passion for dance and the desire to support our community that fuels our business and sets our company apart.

Selection
We pride ourselves on having the largest selection of dance apparel in the industry. Our goal has always been to fit the needs of every dancer – from ballet, jazz, and hip hop – to lyrical and ballroom, Discount Dance carries the top dance brands and styles. In addition, we offer our own exclusive collections, curated by designers, athletes and industry veterans, pouring decades of experience into each garment.

Service
Stemming from our roots as a small, family-owned shop, customer service has always been a top priority. Our employees are knowledgeable, experienced and determined to provide an exceptional shopping experience for all of our customers.

Our Values
At Discount Dance, we move boldly, with intention, and always abide by our core values.

Self-Expression
Dance as an art form celebrates self-expression. We aim to provide apparel choices that give creative freedom and empower each dancer to reach their full potential.

Support
Dance unites us. We believe in uplifting each other and giving back to the community for the greater good of dancers and beyond. Over the years, we have proudly supported St. Joseph’s Ballet, the National Dance Association, numerous dance workshops and charities for children, victims of Hurricane Katrina, Breast Cancer research and many other worthy causes. In addition, Discount Dance has implemented a dance teacher’s reward program that recognizes the hard work and dedication of dance teachers nationwide to grow and nurture talent and expression.

Sustainability
It is our mission to be part of the solution to reduce the impact of the textile industry on the environment. We are committed to integrating sustainability into every step of our private label production to reduce water consumption and pollution. We are proud to announce our first Eco Friendly Mariia collection coming early 2022.
