A ballet shop next to the Teatro Real

Since 2012 on Calle Felipe V, in Ópera. We take our time with you, with no rush.

Our story

How it all began

Mi Favorita opened in 2012 on Calle Felipe V, right next to the Teatro Real, and it is still in the same premises.

The name comes from «Mi Favorita», a choreography by José Carlos Martínez, then director of the Compañía Nacional de Danza, set to music by Léo Delibes.

We specialise in classical ballet: pointe shoes, soft ballet shoes, class and rehearsal wear, and girls' tutus made the way you want. We are official retailers of every brand we sell.

We like to be there for every student, from their first soft ballet shoes to their first pointe shoes, and to keep going after that, season after season.
