It’s always disappointing to see brands in our space unable to continue trading,so we were sad to hear of the closure of Tappers and Pointers recently. This is particularly true in this case, as we are both British companies based here in the North West. We wish the owners and staff the very best in future ventures.
Since the closure, we’ve been contacted by a number of Tappers and Pointers customers looking for products similar to certain products of theirs. So we’ve compiled this list of Tappers and Pointers alternatives for anyone who is looking. We’ve found that the Roch Valley brand is very similar for many products, so for dancers looking to find a similar brand we’ve got Roch Valley recommendations here.
Tappers and Pointers Dance Knickers Alternatives
Very similar products to the Tappers and Pointers knickers, the Roch Valley RVLNIX come in 4 colours and at the time of writing (April 2024) are £8.95/pair
Tappers and Pointers Meryl Footless Tights Alternatives
For fans of the Tappers and Pointers Meryl Footless tights, the RVAccent full length dance leggings are a superb option starting at £14.95
Tappers and Pointers Hot pants Alternative
The Roch Valley dance shorts are similar in style to the popular hotpants from Tappers and Pointers. They’re available in black, white, purple, royal blue and red.
Tappers and Pointers Crop Top Alternatives
For dancers who’ve been wearing the Tappers and Pointers crop top, we suggest the Roch Valley crop tops available in 4 colours. That’s a sleeveless one and a long sleeved option is available here too.
Tappers and Pointers Turtle Neck Leotards Alternatives
The Tappers and Pointers Turtle neck leotard is something we’ve been asked about alternatives to as well and we recommend the Roch Valley turtle neck leotard with long sleeves as a similar product. This is again available in a selection of colours.
For those looking for the sleeveless version, you can find this here.
Tappers and Pointers Tap Shoe Alternatives
It seems many of the Tappers and Pointers customers very much loved the pink glitter tap shoe. Our recommended alternative here is the slightly lighter pink hologram tap shoe from Roch Valley.
Their velcro fastening tap shoes have also proven popular and Roch Valley’s very similar velcro tap shoes will make an excellent replacement.
Tappers and Pointers Gymnastics Leotards Alternatives
Stepping away from dancewear for a moment, we know that Tappers and Pointers also supplied some much loved gymnastics leotards and we too have a range you can browse here.
Switching Brands
We understand how many dancers love their favourite brands and shop regularly for products from brands they know, trust and love. We know many of you will have worn Tappers and Pointers products for many years and will be disappointed to see the brand cease trading. We’ve left specific recommendations in this post but our helpful, friendly customer service team are also on hand to help customers of the brand to find the right replacements.
