About Shall We Dance Designs

Welcome to Shall We Dance Designs, where ballroom meets affordable luxury — and every dancer is celebrated, no matter their level, body type, or budget.

Founded in 2009 and proudly owned by Magdalena “Maggie” Melendez since 2017, Shall We Dance Designs has evolved into more than a traditional dance boutique. What began as a destination for ballroom fashion has grown into a personalized, appointment-based styling experience rooted in confidence, movement, and self-expression.

With over 15 years in the industry, Maggie is a Luxury Style Consultant, specializing in ballroom, salsa, competition prep, and special event styling. Her approach goes beyond simply choosing a dress — she helps clients prepare for moments that matter, guiding them through wardrobe, fit, movement, and overall presentation.

Whether you’re preparing for your first social dance or a major competition, you’ll find something here that feels as good as it looks — with the option for one-on-one guidance to help you step onto the floor with confidence.

At its core, this business is about more than clothing.

It’s about how you feel when you wear it.
It’s about showing up with confidence.
It’s about knowing you’re ready.

Luxury, to Maggie, isn’t about price tags.
It’s about presence.
