Thank You for 40 Beautiful Years
After 40 wonderful years serving the dance community, we are sad to announce we are closing the doors of New Mexico Dancewear.
This decision was not made lightly.
Due to ongoing financial hardship and health concerns for the owner, continuing has become unsustainable.
We are saddened to see Albuquerque lose another staple of a small business but wholeheartedly offer our support to the next chapter of Dancewear in the state, whatever that may look like.
From first dance shoes to final performances, it has been our absolute joy to support dancers of all ages and stages across New Mexico and beyond.
We are so grateful for every student, parent, teacher, studio owner, and performer who walked through our doors.
Your stories, smiles, and passion for dance have meant the world to us.
Being a part of the movement to help dancers love and advocate for themselves has been one of the greatest joys we could possibly imagine.
We encourage dancers to continue finding ways to love their bodies, their tools, and never accept anything less than everything they deserve.
To our pointe shoe dancers:
If you'd like your fitting information, please feel free to reach out via email, text, or through our website. We're happy to share it with you.
Though this chapter is closing, the memories and movement will live on.
Thank you for 40 beautiful years.
With love,
Fiona-Maria Hernandez
And the entire New Mexico Dancewear Family
