On Your Toes Dancewear, LLC is a dancewear store whose sole purpose is to help dancers feel confident, quite literally, from the ground up. It all began with a dancer and a little hope…

Dreams of opening a dancewear store came to fruition when Owner, Kat Johnson was 16 years old. Then an active theatre performer, Johnson had only been ordering character shoes and basic leotards from online dance stores once every 2 years.

When Johnson began seriously studying dance, she just about fell face first into a huge gap in her community; Wichita Falls, TX had no dancewear store, so off to DFW she went to experience her first pointe shoe fitting. Although the fitting was wonderful, Kat longed to have those experiences in her hometown and potentially with friends from her studio, and she knew she wasn’t alone.

Johnson began teaching dance in 2014 and soon realized that students of every age could benefit from a local dancewear store from a new pair of tights when you realize your last good ones have a rip, to needing to pick up extra glue for your pointe shoes before rehearsal starts. On Your Toes Dancewear aims to educate dancers each time they walk into the store by helping them develop the knowledge that will make them well-rounded dancers. Understanding all aspects of dance from the fabric you’re standing on to the lights used on stage also provides a sense of confidence for a dancer. Johnson’s direct experience as a dancer and instructor also provides security that dancers in the community are receiving accurate and relevant information in a quickly evolving dance industry.
