In Sturgeon Bays’ shopping district, you will find many unique shops – one of them is The Dancing Bear right on 3rd Avenue.

When you walk in The Dancing Bear, you are surrounded by hundreds of items, which run the gamut from children’s toys and books to home accents. We spent some time with the store manager, who gave us the tour!

They carry major lines, like Hadley Pottery, which is hand-glazed, decorative stoneware - and they say they have the best selection of Hadley Pottery products anywhere.  You can call them to ask for all the pieces they have on hand!  They also carry hundreds of children’s items, like books (like American Girl books), puzzles, Playmobil, Brio and other cool toys! In addition, there are dozens of bears – all from the top line manufacturers like North American Bear, Muffy VanderBear, Gund, Ty and Steiff.

They also carry William Holbrook Beard pieces (paintings of animals engaged in human activities), Lee Middletown Dolls, Raggedy Anns, Steiff toys,  and more.  They also have organic body products, and even Burt's Bees natural personal care products.

For the home, there are additional uniwue offerings you just must see to apprecaite.

This is a cool store that kids and adults will both like – so stop in and browse around – we think you will find something you will like, at The Dancing Bear!
