Professional Ballet Shoes

You might have been told that it is okay to do your Ballet class wearing only socks! While it is possible, you should also know that socks won’t give you a proper grip and might cause you to slip while trying to learn some of the foot positions. That is why a pair of Ballet shoes or slippers are essential for every Ballet dancer and Ballerina.

To get the perfect pair you need to make sure that:
  • The shoes are a perfect fit as they tend to be smaller than your usual size.
  • Choose the material that suits you better. Leather ones are more durable!
  • Choose between split and full-soles; the latter is best for beginners.

Once you are done with the above steps, all that is left to do is choose the color and style that you like better!

Professional Tango Shoes

Whether you are a beginner or a professional Tango dancer, there are some important things you need to make sure your shoes have (besides the fact that they match your outfit!):

  • The height of the heels needs to be reasonable, we all like how glamorous we look in high heels, but for beginners, you need to go for the smallest ones in order to enjoy your experience.
  • The shoes must fit perfectly, and for Tango shoes, it is normally the same as your usual size, you can always check the brands’ charts for more accurate sizing.
  • Open or closed heel? Beginners usually opt for closed heels to get more support, however, there are also some that choose the open heels for more room to maneuver.

And lastly don’t give up the comfort over the looks, even though you fell in love with those mesmerizing red heels that are a bit too tight or too loose, trust me it is not worth it!
