From center stage to center stage of her own business, Jessica Loscalzo brings her professional dance background to The Dance Bag, Bergen County's premier dance retail destination now located in Paramus Park Mall.

Jessica's journey began as a 14-year-old professional dancer who eventually competed on Season 2 of "So You Think You Can Dance" before touring with various artists. After 15 years teaching dance, a serendipitous opportunity led her to take over The Dance Bag, transforming her passion for dance into a thriving business serving studios and dancers nationwide.

What makes The Dance Bag special in today's retail landscape? It's the experience and expertise that simply can't be replicated online. Whether it's a 45-minute pointe shoe fitting on their in-store stage or custom-branded studio apparel, Jessica and her team go beyond merely selling products to become trusted partners in every dancer's journey. They work directly with studio owners to ensure parents and students get exactly what they need without the hassle of returns or uncertainty.

The business continues to evolve with innovations like The Dance Bag Convention, bringing together manufacturers, teachers, and dancers for master classes and shopping each August. Despite challenges from online competitors and supply chain issues, The Dance Bag thrives by focusing on community connections and memorable experiences—from a child's first tutu to a graduating senior's solo costume.

For dancers of all ages and styles—ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, or ballroom—The Dance Bag offers quality products and invaluable knowledge. Visit them at their new location in Paramus Park Mall next to Sephora, or call 201-444-6175 to discover why local expertise makes all the difference in dance attire and accessories.
