Best Dance Shoes

What would dancing be without dance shoes? You rarely see a ballroom dancer doing the waltz in tennis shoes. It's not common to see ballerinas in flip flops. Have you ever seen a tap dancer in hiking boots? I didn't think so...

What most dancers forget is there are various types of dancing shoes. Some dances even have different types of dance shoes. For example, clogging uses a jazz oxford shoe with a leather upper. Steel taps are installed on the toe and heels of the shoe. If you used nails to install the taps, you must make sure the nails are long enough to keep the taps stable, but not too long - they can go right up in to the shoe itself. Women also use a jazz oxford or a mary jane style shoe. Each has pros and cons. Try the different stlyes and decide what works for you before purchasing something that's not comfortable.

Folk dance shoes are also difficult to choose. Irish Hard Shoes are awesome; but if you've never used a good pair before, you may be deceived. So, as you can see, choosing the right dance shoes is tough. Sneakers, sandals, flip flops, or shoes with rubber soles, won't work. Proper dance shoes must be comfortable on your feet. Focus on dancing! If your feet are sore, the focus will definitely be shifted.

Buying the right dance shoe must be looked at as an important investment. Shop around. Compare prices. Check out different styles and selection. An important reminder: don’t wear dance shoes outside. You must always put them in a dance bag or carrying case traveling. Taking good care of the leather material will also extend the wear of the dance shoes and make your investment more worthwhile.

Dance shoes have a large impact on the way you perform. Practice in the shoes, break them in. This way you won't be uncomfortable we you go out to perform or compete. With this information, you are now ready to hit the floor and dance the night away!
