Central Texas’s Curated
Dance Brand Destination
dancer-founded. dancer-approved.
From the Top is a dancer-founded boutique in Waco, Texas carrying a carefully chosen roster of the industry’s most trusted dancewear, pointe shoe, cheer, and gymnastics brands. Every brand on our shelf is an authorized retailer relationship — not a drop-shipped reseller arrangement, not a third-party listing. That matters because it means manufacturer warranties are honored, sizing is consistent, quality is verified, and you’re buying the real product built to the specs the brand stands behind.
The 15 brands featured below are our most-carried and most-loved — the ones that show up on our dancers, in our studio partners’ dress codes, and on our competition floor. We carry additional brands in store and online beyond these 15, and our lineup grows every season. Whether you’re local to Central Texas and shopping in store, driving in from Dallas, Austin, or Temple, or shopping online from anywhere in the country, you’re shopping a curated selection that’s been through the hands of real dance educators, fitters, and dancers before it hits a hanger.
