About Us
Welcome to Bay Area Dancewear, your trusted source for high-quality, inclusive dancewear and accessories in the San Francisco Bay Area. Located in Berkeley, California, we proudly serve the region’s vibrant and diverse dance community — from recreational dancers to professionals, from studios to schools, and everyone in between.
Our Story: Rooted in Legacy, Driven by Values
Formerly known as Move Me Dance Boutique, our store has long been a part of the Bay Area’s dance culture. Under new ownership, Bay Area Dancewear continues that legacy with a renewed focus on community, inclusion, and accessibility.
We are more than a dance store — we are a values-driven space where dancers of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities can find the gear, guidance, and support they need to thrive. Whether you're shopping for your first pair of ballet slippers or preparing for a professional performance, we’re here to help you feel confident, comfortable, and celebrated.
Our Core Values
Community
We are proud to be part of the Bay Area’s rich dance ecosystem. We collaborate with local dance studios, educators, parents, and health professionals to support the people and organizations that make movement meaningful.
Inclusion
We celebrate dancers of all identities, body types, and abilities. Our boutique offers inclusive dancewear, including a wide range of sizes, skin tone options, and gender-affirming styles — because every dancer deserves to feel seen and supported.
Empowerment
Through personalized dancewear fittings, expert advice, and compassionate service, we help dancers express themselves fully — on stage and in life.

We lead with honesty, respect, and care. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned performer, we’re committed to providing knowledgeable, thoughtful service every step of the way.
Accessibility
We believe that every dancer deserves access to high-quality dancewear that supports how they move and who they are. That’s why we offer a thoughtfully curated selection of styles, sizes, and skin tone options that reflect the richness of our community.
