CoGoGo are delighted to welcome to the market Active Dancewear, a highly rated clothing business in Horwich, Bolton.

Active Dancewear was first established by our client in 2001, building up an excellent reputation and regular client base. As seen by the online ratings and reviews, the business is extremely popular due to their wide range on offer. 

The business has now come to the open market due to our clients desire to retire. 

Active Dancewear stocks a huge range of dancewear and dance shoes that cover all types of dance and they specialise in children’s and adult’s dancewear for ballet, ballroom, latin, salsa, tap, character, freestyle, street, jazz dance and pointe shoe fittings. They’re also stockists of skating dresses which are also suitable for baton twirling and majorettes, available in a range of styles and fabrics.

The business allows customers to either purchase in-store or online via their website. 

The business stocks the full attire required for a number of dance schools, and is extremely highly recommended by teachers and parents.

Our client has advised that a handover option will be made available for the new buyer, and will also offer training to assist with fitting pointe shoes.
