Choosing Dance Shoes
Choosing the perfect dance shoes can make a major difference in your enjoyment of dancing whether you are a social or a competition dancer.
Getting the correct type, fit and brand shoe for both your physique and style of dancing really can make you a better dancer. There’s nothing worse than aching feet after an hour of social dancing or, worse still, a fall or twisted ankle on stage.
It doesn’t matter if you are buying Ballet shoes, Tap, Salsa, Latin, Flamenco or Ballroom shoes, your criteria should be the same. The ideal shoe will be as light in weight as possible while still being strong and supportive. Obviously it must fit well. Remember that your feet may swell after a period of dancing, so bear this in mind when fitting a new dance shoe. You may have to go a size or more higher that your normal street size.
Any dance shoe should be of the best quality, avoid cheaper shoes at all costs. Capezio Dance Shoes are a brand to consider being both popular and well made. Buying cheap dance shoes is a false economy. A quality brand will out last a cheap pair of shoes many times over.
