Style, glamour, and complete confidence on the dance floor—without compromising on comfort. ✨

For the past month, so many of our lovely social dancers have been looking at the iPad in store, waiting for this launch. We promised they’d be here by the end of August, but our friends at International Dance Shoes pulled out all the stops to get them to Topping Street early!

We are thrilled to be one of the very first stockists to have physical stock of the brand-new Comfort Fit Collection in store.

Crafted specifically for dancers who want a little extra room, luxurious cushioning, and the fantastic new Teatro heel—designed with a wider, supportive base that offers incredible stability whether you're enjoying an afternoon tea dance at the Tower Ballroom or getting ready for social sequence sessions.

Because why should you ever have to choose between looking fabulous and feeling secure on the floor?

⚠️ STRICTLY LIMITED LAUNCH DELIVERY: We have secured three featured styles, with just one complete size run in each style (UK sizes 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, and 7)!

If you are heading to the Le Classique de Danse Awards gala at the Empress Ballroom this weekend, or want to make sure your exact size doesn't walk out the door, we strongly advise placing a Click & Collect order!

Spot on from Lytham St Annes Express! Blackpool and the wider Fylde coast have a rich cultural dance heritage that you simply cannot replicate anywhere else in the UK or the world.

From welcoming international competitors into the resort to hosting thousands of visitors on popular dance breaks in St Annes at hotels like Inn on the Prom. and The Bedford Hotel, dance is woven into our region's DNA. Fully backing Blackpool’s City of Culture bid! 💃✨

The owner of a unique ballroom and Latin dance superstore says Blackpool deserves to win the City Of Culture bid, as the resort’s global reputation as the dance capital ‘can’t be bought’

You asked, we made it! 💙💃

After meeting so many incredible line dancers and West Coast Swing competitors in Blackpool recently, one request kept coming up: high-waisted, wide-leg WCS trousers that move effortlessly.

Here is our very first prototype fresh off the machine!

✨ Made with 4-way performance stretch for maximum fluidity.
✨ High-waisted cut for full coverage during turns and spins.
✨ Versatile base piece—styled here plain, and elevated with a removable Blackpool Bling crystal belt!

We’re drafting custom embellishment options now, but we’d love to know what you think of this electric blue. Drop a comment below! 👇

The third and final instalment of our feature with the Blackpool Gazette is out today. 🗞️✨

Dance has an extraordinary ability to transcend borders, languages, and cultures. Whether you are stepping onto a practice floor in Tokyo, competing across Europe, or travelling from across the UK, dance unites people in a way very few things can.

For generations, Blackpool has served as the global focal point for that passion—a place where dancers from every corner of the world gather to celebrate the art form we all love. That unique heritage is why the town is currently bidding to become the UK City of Culture 2029. 🏆💃🕺

It’s an absolute privilege to serve dancers worldwide from this historic hub. If you’d like to read the feature or support the culture that brings our global dance community together, check out the article below:

Blackpool Dance Store is so excited to have been adopted and welcomed into the World Dance Masters family! 🌍💃

After closing at 2 pm, I popped into the Empress Ballroom to do a bit of “recon” on the incredible outfits, costumes, and energy on the floor. To see dancers from all over the globe—Australia, South Africa, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Wales, and beyond—bringing the ballroom to life is what Blackpool is all about!

Thank you to everyone who has popped by Topping Street so far. We’re right around the corner for all your last-minute dancewear, fabrics, accessories, and emergency competition kit! ✨

Please tell me it’s not just me who physically cringes hearing their own voice played back to them? 🫣

Have a watch (with the sound up if you can bear my voice! 😂) and pop into Blackpool Dance Store next time you’re in town!

'It was bizarre that Blackpool - the capital of dance - didn't have a dedicated ballroom and Latin store...so I opened one'

Blackpool Dance Store opened a few months ago, on Topping Street, and now welcomes customers from all over the world, who are in town competing at the BlackpoolDanceFestival and other events at the Winter Gardens Blackpool and The Blackpool Tower ballroom.
